Everything goes wireless these days. This is why we have a close look at the “black magic” of antennas, how they work, what is essential, and how to test them. Based on this knowledge we will build a cheap antenna tester for LoRa antennas. A similar device can be built to test Wi-Fi antennas. It uses an ESP32 TTGO board on one side and a Wemos D1 mini with a Hope RFM95 module on the other side.
