I`ve designed IFA antenna in Altium as described in DN007 and created a balun circuit from the schematic design of CC2500EM Reference Design (swrr016a). I`m very new to RF designs, as I could understand from application notes and forum posts; this design shall work with the right thickness of PCB. My PCB will be a 2 layer PCB and I`m planning to u

se only the top layer to be the PCB antenna, for maximum range shall I use layer stacking (use both of the PCB layers ) and shall I use a 50 Ohm transmission line on the connection of antenna after connected to balun circuit DN007 antenna is an excellent choice for 2. 4 GHz operation. Just copy the antenna in the reference design onto the top layer. Some of the new antenna reference design which have been released use two layer to increase the bandwidth and to achieve a slight higher efficiency. DN007 has a wide bandwidth and has already high efficiency so there is no need here to use both pcb layers. Can be a good idea to insert a pi-network between on the 50 feedline forantenna matching purposes. This will guarantee that the antenna mismatchingcan be kept to a minimum. First of all thank you for your fast response. I`ll have one more question regarding to the issue, by "pi-network" did you mean the balun circuit design below And do you think that the schematic design below seems like it`ll work well A pi-network could be added after C2134 just as a safety measure if the antenna would be detuned / mismatched by its physical surroundings. DN007 has a good match to 50 ohm so more than likely a 0 ohm resistor is sufficient in the pi-network. If the antenna is detuned then the mismatch can be corrected by the pi-network.

This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
