In this Episode of Electronics Basics, we will be having a closer look at 2.4GHz WiFi antennas. We will find out how they basically work, what commercial one I got is the best and how to make your own. Along the way we will also answer the question whether a bigger antenna is better? There will be tons more like Impedance matching, VNA measurement and resonance circuits! Let's get started!! ;-)
