PCB Antenna Design (GSM/GPS) - Resources Required
« on: April 24, 2011, 06:04:59 pm »
Hi all,

Could anyone point me in the direction of some information (Links, books, application notes etc) on designing PCB trace antennas? This is a topic I haven't really seen discussed much.

Regards,

Dave

Can't say I know anything on the subject but I was reading this the other day, seems to cover the basics.

Searching for "patch antenna design" I found this presentation (https://ccnet.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/course.cgi?cc=ee144&action=handout_download&handout_id=ID11797377905639), where the basic desing calculations remind me of what I studied few years ago (but unfortunately never used). Patch type are quite simple and give directivity (usually orthogonally to the plane), but require quite large pcb area.
