When finding the average rate of change of any interval‚ it doesn’t necessarily have to be a line there are other applications too. For example‚ a graph that is not a linear

physical dimensions of their product offerings. In the age of wireless products this drive to miniaturize continues. Antennas are critical devices that enable wireless products. Unfortunately‚ system designers often choose antenna dimensions in an ad hoc manner. Many times the choice of antenna dimensions is driven by convenience rather than through the examination of fundamental electrical limitations of an antenna. In this presentation the fundamental limits and the trade-offs between the physical size
