A cell phone's power amplifier produces an RF output of 0.460 between the amplifier and antenna...
You are on an interview with Sungsam LTE and the interviewer shows you their new 2300 MHz cell phone transceiver and antenna printed circuit board (PCB) shown below. "Between the RF source and antenna is a matching network of small circuit elements (i.e. inductor, capacitor or resistor) - the antenna feedline has a characteristic impedance Zo of 50 Ohms", she exclaims. She goes on to request you show her using her Smith Chart how you would 'match' the PCB trance...
Consider a cylindrical capacitor like that shown in Fig. 24.6. Let d = rb − ra be the spacing between the inner and outer conductors. (a) Let the radii of the two conductors be only slightly different, so that d << ra. Show that the result derived in Example 24.4 (Section 24.1) for the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor then reduces to Eq. (24.2), the equation for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, with A being the surface area of...
