Hi,
I'm a newb when it comes to antennas.
I previously designed a circuit board which
contained a Chipcon CC2500 2.4GHz transceiver. It
was using an inverted F antenna (pcb trace). The
design included a balun and other matching components.
I copied most of this from the reference design
that was provided with the evaluation boards.
Now I want to use a Gigaant Rufa SMD antenna.
If I obey the restrictions as far as distance from
the ground plane and thickness of PCB etc, can I
just replace the inverted F antenna with the Gigaant
antenna? Do I need to change values of the matching
components or balun?
Thanks!
