 All RF Cafe Quizzes make great fodder for
employment interviews for technicians or engineers - particularly those who are
fresh out of school or are relatively new to the work world. Come to think of it,
they would make equally excellent study material for the same persons who are going
to be interviewed for a job. Bonne chance, Viel Glück, がんばろう,
buena suerte, удачи, in bocca al lupo, 행운을 빕니다,
ádh mór, בהצלחה, lykke til, 祝你好運.
Well, you know what I mean: Good luck!

 This quiz is based on the information presented
in
Introduction to Antenna Analysis Using EM Simulation, by Hiroaki Kogure,
Yoshie Kogure, and James C. Rautio, published by Artech House. It is written for
novice engineers and engineering students. This easy-to-comprehend resource offers
readers thorough introductory-level treatment of antenna analysis using electromagnetic
(EM) simulators. This richly-illustrated book shows how to use EM software to analyze
and tune wireless antennas to meet specific requirements. Readers learn important
wireless antenna design terminology and gain a detailed understanding of how antennas
work. Moreover, the book offers guidance in troubleshooting problems with wireless
antenna designs.
