AN91445 explains antenna design in simple terms and recommends two Cypress-tested PCB antennas that can be implemented at a very low cost for use with the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) solutions that are part of Cypress’s PRoC™ and PSoC® family. The PRoC BLE and PSoC 4 BLE 2.4 GHz radio must be carefully matched to its antenna for optimum performance. It concludes by showing how to tune the antenna in the final product.
Introduction
The goal of this application note is to enable you to design an optimal antenna for your application with minimal time and resources. The antenna is a vital component in a wireless system. A well-designed antenna will help to optimize the performance of the PRoC BLE and PSoC 4 BLE radio in the final product.
