    PCB material selection for antenna

    Many thanks logbook. Is there a price list anywhere, so that I can make that x.xdB loss vs y.y% price comparison? Calling all these people will take a lot of time (sounds like I am lazy, but if someone has already done this why reinvent the wheel). Also, is there a rule of thumb for how much...

    PCB material selection for antenna

    I am working on a 3GHz PCB-based antenna. Does anyone have any ideas on which PCB material is best for the cost? My short list is FR4, FR408, Rogers 4003, Nelco 40013. Any other materials that people use? I understand that FR4 is lossy at those frequencies. Many thanks.

    radial stub microstrip rf choke

    Can anyone point me to any equations for a radial stub RF choke. This is the kind that is etched out on a microstrip board. Is it as simple as a 1/4 wavelength with a 90 degree radius, or is there more to it?

    recieving circularly polarized wave with linearly polarized antenna

    What is the theoretic loss when recieving a circularly polarized transmission with a linearly polarized antenna? I am thinking it should be 3dB am I correct?

    Anyone have pointers for microstrip omni antenna design

    I am a bit out of my area of expertise. I have done the Google search etc. came up with nothing. Any pointers to microstrip OMNI design descriptions would be very much appreciated.

    microstrip travelling wave antenna load

    I am trying to design a microstrip travelling wave antenna. The antenna is driven by about a 2watt power amplifier. This type of an antenna requires a load on the other end. What are the power handling requirements for the load? Can I just put in a generic 50 Ohm chip resistor? Many thanks.
