Antennas are used by everyone, but not well understood. The basics aren't that tough. If it's not explained by Dr. R. F. Field or Mr. Mark E. Ting, then the concepts and theories are easily grasped.
This presentation covers the basic concepts, measurements, and types of antennas found in every day life. Plenty of pictures and visualizations will allow everyone to understand the difference between reality and marketing gibberish. Return loss, dBi vs dBd, isotropic, gain, resonance, SWR, null, beamwidth, impedance, etc.... etc... what does it all mean? We'll cover it all.
