Folded dipole antenna for CC2420

Hi !

My first post in this forum, so be gentle :slight_smile:

Im about to design a folded dipole antenna for the CC2420, however the datasheet leaves some questions unanswered.

All the other designs of folded dipoles have seen uses DC-decoupling capacitor i series with the feeder. The CC2420 does not.

The CC2420 datasheet also specifies a capacitor not shown on the “Folded-dipole-antenna” Figure, but included in the table below.

Where can I find some extensive study material about folded dipole antennas in general?, or specifically for the CC2430 if avaliable?

Mvh

Seems like noone knows …

I have however looked it up if anyone is intrerested.

Since noone that I know of has got the folded dipole to work, im using the antenna in Microchips Zbee ref design implementing the CC2420.

But It would be interesting to know if anyone gets the folded dipole to work …
