I am using this chip (**broken link removed**) and this antenna (**broken link removed**) to build a simple RF receiver that will control a logic circuit. Right now, I have everything on a breadboard and am using a working transmitter to test it out. However, I am not getting anything from the chip.
I checked the ground, Vcc, and address bits to make sure everything was hooked up correctly. It looks like it is, and after talking to the company that makes the chips, they are telling me that the antenna is probably the culprit. Basically, they told me that the chip should be put on a PCB and a decent ground plane should be used to ground the antenna to reduce noise. I am looking to see if anybody can help me get this circuit up and running. Below is what I have so far (messy, I know).
