You and I both see antennas everywhere, but their actual principals of operation are often regarded as "Black Magic" due to the relative unobservability. I hope to demystify that just a touch here in this video.
Please comment what projects you're most interested in seeing first, hope to see ya soon!
Also, please forgive me for repeatedly calling S11 and S21 "S eleven" and "S twenty one", that just sounds confusing.
Thank you for watching!
