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

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.
