The demonstration of a Yagi–Uda nano-antenna that operates at visible wavelengths gives hope for a convenient means of directing radiation patterns from nanoscale light sources such as single ...

A paper published in Nature this week details how researchers have taken a common antenna design and replicated it on the the nanoscale level. When a regular TV aerial that handles radio frequencies ...

Standard TV antennas receive signals carried by electromagnetic waves with frequencies in the MHz range and convert them into pulses of electric currents in the connected cables. The antenna connects ...

Researchers in Japan have built a nano-scale version of the classic antenna used to pick up TV signals in millions of homes around the world. The device, which is based on the “Yagi-Uda” antenna, ...

(Nanowerk News) For the first time, physicists from the University of Würzburg have successfully converted electrical signals into photons and radiated them in specific directions using a ...

Antennas have played a vital role in the field of communications. Wireless transmission and reception of signals have greatly impacted our everyday lives. The Yagi-Uda antenna or Yagi Antenna is one ...

BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fractal Antenna Systems, Inc. (FRACTAL) today announced upcoming issuance of a fundamental patent on unidirectional antennas, that replace existing applications with ...

One of the first things that an amateur radio operator is likely to do once receiving their license is grab a dual-band handheld and try to make contacts with a local repeater. After the initial ...

For the first time, physicists have successfully converted electrical signals into photons and radiated them in specific directions using a low-footprint optical antenna that is only 800 nanometers in ...
