Mastering antenna impedance measurements – Volume I. Your RF and antenna design flow may start from a 3D EM simulation model of an antenna, selecting a suitable catalogue antenna, or directly from an antenna prototype. Whatever is the end-to-end design flow, to match the design with the target specification, prototype

It is well known that compact wireless devices require small antennas whose size is dictated mostly by mechanical, design and aesthetic aspects, and not so much on the efficiency of radiation. Therefore, such small antennas are often made tunable to cater for multiband requirements. To make an antenna tunable, a
