A brief introduction to antennas

A brief introduction to antennas

Over the last few weeks, we’ve been talking a lot about communications technology, both terrestrial and satellite-based. Terrestrial and satellite technology play different roles in communications, but they both involve radio waves, which means they both require antennas to transmit and receive those radio waves. Your mobile phone contains at least one antenna; it’s likely to contain more.

Dr Soheyl Soodmand, our senior RF and antenna architect, has written a piece to share his expertise on the subject of antenna technology. Please enjoy this article on how antennas work, and on some of the different types of antenna relevant to our work at Darwin.

What’s the difference between 3G, 4G and 5G?

What’s the difference between 3G, 4G and 5G?

Many of us use 4G or 5G technology on a daily basis: to connect to the internet on our phones, for example. What is this technology, though? How do 3G, 4G and 5G work, and what are the differences between them? We’re going to take a look at those questions here.
