Blog Post: Optimising Antenna Design for 5G and the Internet of Things
5G, the next generation of wireless communication, is expected to be implemented by 2020. Antennas used in mobile devices must be optimised for 5G and the Internet of Things. The challenge is to design them to fit into the size and weight limits of smartphones. In this blog post, we discuss how they can be analysed to realise an optimised design.
