5 Antenna

The existing antenna documentation available is mainly oriented towards antennas that operate at a single frequency. There are two antenna selection guides are available: Antenna Selection Quick Guide application note and Antenna Selection Guide application note. There is a CC-Antenna-DK2 and Antenna Measurements Summary application note available with complete documentation. All antenna documentation that is available from TI can be accessed from the Antenna Selection Quick Guide application note because there are hyperlinks to all antenna documentation, antenna measurement reports, and all antenna reference designs.

TI recommends to include an antenna matching network to tune and to reduce the mismatch losses of the antenna. For a single-band antenna, the recommendation is to always include a pi-match network prior to the antenna (see Figure 5-1). Only two of the three footprints or components are required. The impedance of the antenna determines if footprint or component ANT1 or ANT3 is used. ANT2 is always used. Even if the antenna is matched exactly, ANT2 can be set as a 0Ω resistor. For more details on antenna matching, refer to Antenna Impedance Measurement and Matching application note.
