The Dropout’s Guide to Antenna Design looks like a great reference for people like me who know almost nothing about antennas. I have been learning a lot about digital electronics over the last year or so but I am a total ignoramus when it comes to analog signal processing.
The first batch of Xbee modules I ordered had wire antennas; when Adam ordered his, he picked one with an external antenna. I think this is a better choice for long range, so I ordered a little SMA connector and am going to solder it on to my existing device.
Any chance you’ll blog on your results? I am actually very interested in this for a UAV project I am working on.
