EM simulation of antenna in battery proximity using QUCS studio
Have you tried simulating the behaviour of a commercial IoT antenna with Lithium Ion batteries in proximity using QUCS studio? I looked for tutorials but was not able to find anything useful. Can ...

What is the actual physics and reasoning for the “Ground plane” underneath a GPS patch antenna
From my very limited knowledge of EM, I believed that anything tied to earth can absorb radio waves, so if an antenna was to be placed above a ground plane, why does the ground plane not just absorb ...

Metal detector coil wire gauge [duplicate]
Many designs of metal detector coils use different gauges of wire for the TX and RX coils - why is that? Does the wire thickness influence other parameters rather then just the resistance and current ...

What is the difference between these two input impedance equations?
I'm currently solving some university E&M homework problems and to solve input impedance, we were given this formula (from Fundamentals of Applied Electromagnetics 6th Ed): But when I browse ...

Does a receiving antenna radiate the power received?
Let's consider the case of linear dipole antenna or Hertz dipole. I know that the antenna acts as a transducer and it radiates the E-M waves due to the acceleration and decelaration of the electrons ...

Question on spark gap transmitter circuit
I am trying to understand how basic electromagnetic communication works. From what I understand, spark-gap transmitters were the first wireless devices made by man. A couple of circuits I found online ...

Finding constant in electrostatic equation given only charge
So in a region of free space with zero charge, all I'm given is that the electrostatic potential V is given by: $$V(x,y,z) = kz(x^2) y + 2y - 6y(z^3)$$ [Volts] To find the constant k, would I have to ...

A circularly polarized EM wave is perfectly absorbed by any interface?
According to the Fresnel equations, the effective reflectivity of an arbitrarily polarized electromagnetic wave is given as: $$ \Gamma = \frac{\Gamma_p + \Gamma_s}{2} , $$ where \$\Gamma_p\$ and \$\...

How, exactly, does the 'input signal' wave(s) modify the carrier-wave of a radio signal? [closed]
I cannot find a simple (or really, not-so-simple) explanation of how mixing the high-frequency carrier wave with the lower-frequency input signal works... Is it entirely due to constructive and ...
