Antenna Design (Clone) - (تصميم الهوائي(نسخ

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Introduction

Antenna design is not an easy task.
To simplify things, we will CLONE the well known chineese module 2.4 GHZ nRF24L01+.
The nRF24L01+ is a single chip [2.400 - 2.4835GHz] transceiver suitable for ultra low power wireless applications.
Documentation



Nordic semiconducteur provides a reference design for the nRF24L01+ chip. It prodives the recommended components too.
Cypress provides an extremely useful article to design a 2.4GHZ antenna.
Our PCB footprint is based on Cypress guidelines.
PCB Antenna Footprint

I just followed the Cypress guidelines to draw the footprint. Becareful with dimensions (mils not mm).
Schematics


I just reproduced the Nordic Semiconductor reference design in Kicad editor.
PCB Design

Kicad is used to route this simple board.
PCB Assembly


Becareful with the soldering iron.
Be patient.
Enjoy

To test the newly designed Module with its integrated antenna, we used our "Yet Another Remote Controller Board". Our module fits and replaces the totally cloned chineese equivalent.
