Re: Radio and CIM motors

The radio actually uses PIFA antennae, vertically polarized to the plane of the bottom of the AP. The circuit board is the ground plane.
Antenna actually have both electric and magnetic fields, but they are 90 degrees apart. Most discussions center around the magnetic field so the electric field lives in obscurity.
