Thanks.
The document you linked to also mentions another document, DN024, which they say is closer matched to 50ohm.
But to be honest, my understanding of analogue and RF is weak - I can wire logic chips, CPUs, memory, use programmable logic, and write software all day long, but I dont really even know why 50 ohms in particular is so important...
I suppose I am looking for what could be as close as possible to a "fool proof" solution and would be easy enough for me to understand with my current knowledge without having to learn an entirely new set of theory. But maybe "fool proof" and RF just dont go together in the same sentence...
The spring antenna you mention seems like it could be a good match for that, if I understand anything at all about it - but it seems like I could just solder one of these as close as possible to the RN2483 module and "be done with it"?
The distance from the garage to where my base station would be is quite short, less than 100 metres, although it does have to go through a house and maybe some trees. So presumably I wont need a huge amount of gain, and the spring antennas look like they are just a coulle of dB gain at best, but yeah, very small.
I wont have the PCB in an enclosure as it is technically indoors. It will just be mounted to a piece of wood with some terminal blocks for external connections.
