This report details the RF design and characterization of an integrated antenna for Broadcom. The analysis was conducted by the UCI Center for RF Design and Characterization. The report focuses on Antenna 1, an integrated antenna, and presents comprehensive measurements of its performance at three key frequencies: 2.402GHz, 2.441GHz, and 2.480GHz.
The report includes detailed radiation patterns in the XZ, YZ, and XY planes for each frequency, illustrating the antenna's directional characteristics and polarization properties. Both co-cross polarization and total field measurements are provided, with separate plots for vertical and horizontal polarization. Additionally, the report presents the return loss of the antenna across a frequency range, allowing for the determination of bandwidth and impedance matching characteristics.
The measurements summary provides a concise overview of the antenna's performance, including return loss, maximum gain, and the corresponding angles for maximum gain in both the theta and phi directions. This information is crucial for understanding the antenna's overall performance and suitability for specific applications.
