Default rf antennas

Hi all,

I am looking for rf antennas that could fit into a 1" by 1" plastic
case, operating frequency 500Mhz. They could also be pcb antennas.
Could you suggest me some places to lookfor?

Thanks,
Adam

Microstrip Antennas, D. M. Pozar, Proceedings of the IEEE, Vol. 80 No. 1,
January, 1992, page 79 et seq

Or go the Patent Office website (www.uspto.gov) and search for patents
issued to Martin V. Schneider.

What other sorts of antennas are there exactly? Audio? Light?
Tactile?

Thought they ALL were RF in nature....

could be wrong....

Yep, you are wrong. Insects had antenna millions of years before man
ever walked the earth. In fact, the word "antenna" comes directly
from the insect world and was adopted for RF antennas, because they
reminded someone of insect antenna.

That certainly would explain why the plural of the two different types are
different.

I believe that both plurals (antennas and antennae) are correct. One is
simply the Latin plural, and the other the Anglicized plural.

Nope, antennae only applies to bugs, the devices used to receive radio waves
are antennas.

My unabridged dictionary says that antennas is the plural of
RF antenna and antennae is the plural of insect antenna.

My guess is that the plural for insect antennae came from Latin
and the plural for RF antennas came from a more modern language.
The word "antenna" entered the English language around 1646
from Middle Latin according to my dictionary. There were no
RF antennas in 1646, at least not on purpose.

Actually I am not trying to design antennas ( 500Mhz to 1Ghz- I guess
this gives you information about what sort they are), I am trying to
buy them on a pcb or small chips that could be mounted on a PCB.

Thanks,
Adam
