Link Budget (Game)
Outreach Activity Development, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2023
Link Budget is the world’s first multiplayer card game about antenna engineering, suitable for ages 12+!
The mechanics of the game allow players to gain intuition about antenna engineering and the associated real-life tradeoffs without getting lost in the weeds of differential vector calculus. Additionaly, the cards feature high quality visualizations of antenna topologies and key characteristics like how they radiate energy into space.
