    this list is far from being a "huge" but there are several formulas that can be put to good use when working on the rf side of a toughbook .
    one particularly useful formula is for figuring out the dimensions of a "patch" antenna for gps reception .
    it is not a huge step to design a "phased array" in order to get some gain for use in less-than-optimal situations :

    another application would be in designing a custom antenna for wifi or wwan use .
