Hello:
I am hoping you guys may be able to help me. I am creating a ultra small short range tx/rx. And although, I am moderatly comfortable, with electronics, I am a novice when it comes to antennas. For the reciever I am using digikey part #LTC5505-1ES5#TRMPBFCT-ND with this antenna (digikey part #ANT-315-HETH-ND). My question is this... the antenna is created so that both "ends" are connected to the circuit, but my output IC only has one output antenna connection, so how do I connect these together? The transmitter is tuned to transmit on the 315 mhz band, the recieving antenna is tuned to the same frequency. and it only needs to work for 20-30 feet. Even better would be if someone could point me to a website that would allow me to create a PCB antenna for this circuit.
Thanks in advance
