STM32WB RF guidelines - 5 - Antennas implementation guide - Part1
Channel: STMicroelectronics
Date: 29/11/2023

- Antenna design guide series are intended for designers who would like to get the information related to the antennas in general and to grab the basics for the antennas included important parameters that should be watched; about type of antennas, and their right implementation into board; about impacting from various objects nearby. These are important aspects that are usually not considered and will only be often discovered with the finished design.

- The issue is best understood through examples; therefore, several configurations are demonstrated using an EM simulation on a PIFA model. Such a tool is important for understanding all the influences on the antenna parameters, and even though the designer may not have it available, he will be aware of the circumstances already during the PCB design. This will greatly facilitate the subsequent setup or optimization of the performance of antenna.

- The video is full of hints that can help the designer to decide on a particular antenna and its implementation. It also draws attention to possible complications associated with effects on antenna parameters and possibly their mitigation by modification of the antenna.
