\section{Challenges}
\begin{frame}{Issues to Tackle...}
\begin{block}{In theory everything works, but in practice...}
Challenges:
\begin{itemize}
\item Phase
\item Impedance Matching
\item Building
\end{itemize}
\end{block}
\end{frame}
%%%%%%%%%%%
%\begin{frame}{Specifications}
%\begin{itemize}
% \item Operating frequency $433MHz$
%% \item Transmit signal for up to $100m$
% \item Length of Antenna $69 cm$ 4
%\end{itemize}
%\end{frame}
%%%%%%%%%%%
\begin{frame}{Phase}
\begin{itemize}
\item Desired phase difference of $\pi$
\item We may consider the full-wavelength antenna as composed of two
half-wavelength antennas having identical radiating properties, one excited positively and the other negatively, or $\pi$ out of phase.
\item Phase difference can be regulated by shifting the gap in the dipole
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
%%%%%%%%%%%
\begin{frame}{Impedance Matching}
\begin{block}{}
\begin{itemize}
\item Aim: $Z_{in}=Z_{out}$
\item Minimize the transfer coefficient $\Gamma$
\item ensures that the signal is not reflected back into the transmission line
\cite{foldeddipolebasics}
\item Maximize the power delivered to the antenna
\end{itemize}
\end{block}
\begin{itemize}
\item Dependent on the separation between the two dipoles.
\item Optimum separation smaller than 3 cm.
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
%----------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Design}
\begin{frame}{Technical Representation}
\begin{figure}

\begin{frame}{Construction}
\begin{itemize}
\item{Building Steps} \\
- Bending a hollow metal pipe to the folded dipole dimensions\\
