Copper Mountain Technologies Video: In-Circuit Antenna Verification - RF CafeIndianapolis, IN, February 17, 2020 - Copper Mountain Technologies (CMT) has produced a series of videos to help users of its diverse line of vector network analyzers (VNAs) get the most out of their extensive capabilities. Proprietary features in both hardware and software supplies VNAs designed by CMT with capabilities far beyond similar equipment by other companies. This video entitled, "In-Circuit Antenna Verification," is one of a series of videos that can be found on the Copper Mountain Technologies website.

Brian Walker, Senior RF Design Engineer at Copper Mountain Technologies, shows how there can be significant variation of performance of a PCB mounted antenna when it is close enough to other objects to disturb the near field response. It is best to measure the return loss of an embedded antenna in its final configuration and be prepared to add matching elements to improve radiation efficiency. Careful consideration of the location of the calibration plane of a vector network analyzer measurement is important to derive matching circuit element values.
