  • ... that the inverted-F antenna (pictured), the most common antenna used in mobile phones, was originally developed for missile telemetry?

Symbol confirmed.svg Fantastic article. Just the right mix of tech and lay explanation. DYK checks green, newness good, length excellent, lots of cites, hook cite, all good to go. Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:29, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

There is a slight difficulty with this submission. I discovered after creating this article that shorted monopole antenna already existed, an alternative, but more obscure, name for the same thing (now redirected). I have not used any material from that article but DYK rules might require the new article to be considered an expansion of this version. I'm not too clear on that point.

If the original did not get a DYK, and it doesn't seem to have had one, then this gets a bye in my books. Your article is entirely new, and meets expansion anyway, so there doesn't seem to be an issue in any event. Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:30, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
Yes, I didn't think it was a problem, but I just wanted to declare it before anyone else spotted it. Also, most of the material in the old article was about comparing different antennae and would be more appropriate as part of another article. SpinningSpark 15:09, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
