Antenna

A new system called SARAS, which is a Spanish acronym for "Fast Acquisition of Satellites and Launchers," more than doubles the effective area of the receiving dish antenna, allowing signals from satellites to be acquired much faster.

CubeSats are certainly in the process of revolutionizing the satellite industry, although they're hampered by the limitations of their small onboard antennas. That may be about to change, though, as MIT is developing larger, inflatable antennas for use in the tiny spacecraft.

Scientists have created a product label that harvests power from a smartphone's radio waves, and uses that to transmit data back to the phone.

Researchers at the military technology firm Chamtech have developed a special aerosol spray that can essentially add an antenna to whatever it's sprayed on and improve the network coverage in the area.

A prototype liquid crystal antenna may lead to faster-tracking, less expensive satellite antennas for use in moving vehicles.

DARPA plans on building a satellite that will scavenge spare parts from defunct satellites orbiting the earth.

An experimental fabric antenna could be used to transmit the locations of people lost at sea to orbiting satellites.

BAE Systems has developed a series of Body Wearable Antennas (BWAs) that sees the antennas weaved into the fibers of a uniform to provide more reliable, continuous 360-degree radio coverage.

A newly-developed microchip allows for antenna arrays that could replace satellite dishes.

Researchers have developed sensors that run on extremely low power thanks to using a home’s electrical wiring as a giant antenna to transmit information.

Apple has announced that after September 30, it will continue to offer only the Bumper case for free through AppleCare and the no restocking fee policy will end.

Dexim has announced release of a Swiss army knife case to enhance some features of Apple's iPod Nano 5G
