11.1.8 Antenna

Be sure to choose an antenna that covers the frequency band, 2.400 GHz to 2.500 GHz, and is designed for a 50Ω feed point. Follow the antenna vendor’s recommendations for pad dimensions, the spacing from the pad to the ground reference plane and the spacing from the edges of the pad to the ground fill on the same layer as the pad. Finally, make sure that the antenna matching components are placed as close as to the antenna pad as possible.
