Lynx/Dragon Chip Antenna (Tx & Rx)

PageWriter Receiving Loop Antenna

Conclusion from Radiation Conclusion from Radiation Pattern MeasurementsPattern MeasurementsDetermined the best antenna

position (0 degrees) to be on top in the RF box for all 2-way paging products

To replace the existing loop antenna with a fixed circular polarized antenna for both Tx and Rx

Results of the ImplementationResults of the Implementation

Improved BER Failures Tremendously

Cut NTF failures by 50%

Provided fixed antenna solution for 2-way paging products

Designing New Mosaic Chart Designing New Mosaic Chart Engine ProjectEngine ProjectDesigned the chart engine using

Macromedia Flash 5 with Generator2– Creates interactive Web sites with

sophisticated charts, graphs, and tables– Access databases through XML support

Reasons For New Chart Engine?Reasons For New Chart Engine?

Past charts (Java Applet ) were not supported by Netscape

Slow to downloadSome charts were not even

supported by IEA lot of steps was involved in

creating charts
