4.6 Inverted-F Antenna
The BRD4173A Radio Board includes an on-board printed inverted-F antenna tuned for the 2.4 GHz band. Due to the design restric-
tions of the Radio Board, the input of the antenna and the output of the matching network can't be placed directly next to each other.
Therefore, a 50 Ohm transmission line was necessary to connect them. The resulting impedance and reflection measured at the output
of the matcing network are shown in the following figure. As it can be observed, the impedance is close to 50 Ohm (the reflection is
around or better than -10 dB) for the entire 2.4 GHz band.
