5 Dual Band Matching and Results

The CTIA measurement summary results are presented in this section. Note that the performance will be affected by the size and shape of the ground plane.

As mentioned earlier, the antenna supports dual band operations with 2440 MHz in addition to either 433, 490-510 or 868/915 MHz. The tricky part with dual-band matching is to have a good match (SWR < 2) for both bands. The steps used is this app note are the following:

  1. Use a Smith chart tool to match the low-band using only Z62 and Z63
  2. Use a Smith chart tool to match the high-band by adding Z60 and Z61
  3. Tune the values of the components until an acceptable SWR/Impedance is achieved
  4. Test the matched using S11 on a VNA
  5. Correct for deviation from the theoretical Smith chart in the high- and low- band
