Session 2 - PCB Antenna Detuning, Tuning & Matching

  • July 14, 2026

In this session, we dive into practical antenna tuning and RF optimization with live demonstrations and real hardware measurements.

In this video, you’ll learn: • Why antennas detune • Practical tuning and impedance matching techniques • How we determine matching circuits using free software • Live measurement of the matching on real hardware • Tips for improving RF performance in your own designs • Interactive Q&A with the audience

Whether you’re an embedded engineer, RF engineer, hardware or PCB designer, IoT developer, or an electronics enthusiast, this session is packed with practical insights to help you build more reliable wireless products.
