If Your Project Proposal Involves Antennas You Could Win a Free Molex Antenna Kit!

The theme this month is Radio Control. Your project can be anything that involves or explores RF including circuits, antennas, SDR (Software Defined Radio), ham radio, modulation/demodulation, RADAR (acronym for Radio Detection And Ranging), and more! Your projects can involve applications related to RF including robots, data acquisition projects, data transfer, automation, remote control, wireless sensor networks, cellular IoT, health, object detection, and more! Your projects can use any combination of amplifiers, modulators, transmitters, antennas, coaxial cables, detectors, and more. RF refers to electromagnetic radiation at the lower end of the electromagnetic spectrum (EM) with a frequency range of 3kHz to 300 GHz. It is part of the invisible portion of the EM spectrum. The presence and characteristics of RF such as frequency, wavelength, amplitude require specialized test equipment such as spectrum analyzers and signal-level meters. All known transmission systems work in the RF spectrum range including analog radio, aircraft navigation, marine radio, amateur radio, TV broadcasting, mobile networks and satellite systems. The VHF (very high frequency) band, which ranges from 30-300 MHz, is primarily used for FM radio, TV broadcasts, and amateur radio. A lot of electronic communication devices uses the ultra-high frequency (UHF) band including mobile phones, wireless LAN, Bluetooth, and TV and land radio. Microwaves are a subset of radio waves that operate within the 300 MHz to 300 GHz range and are at the higher end of the RF spectrum. Some RF engineers designate microwaves as beginning at the 1Ghz range and some sources designate microwaves as separate radio waves and microwaves on the RF spectrum but this is arbitrary as they are pretty much the same.

Here are some projects to inspire you:

Your Chance to Win

Be Original	Stick to the Theme
You could come up with a clever name that make's your project memorable! This project is your baby! Part of the fun of bringing something new into the world is coming up with a name. Your project could introduce something new or that is not commercially available or affordable!	If you have an idea for a project that doesn't fit the current theme then submit your idea in the comments section of the monthly poll.
List the Steps	Submit Video Proof
Provide the steps you took to complete your project (text, video, or images). This could be a step by step how-to-guide, vlog, schematics, coding, napkin drawings, voice narration, or whatever you think will be useful!	If it doesn't work that's fine, this is more about the journey than the end product. A short video is all that is required but you can shoot as much video as you like. You are encouraged to be creative and have as much fun as possible!
