PCB small loop antenna design is required when designing with RF transmitter and receiver chips available as standard parts from a number of semiconductor manufacturers. A web survey turned up a small number of interesting and instructive articles on this topic. Of these articles only a very few met our purpose. Among these latter we found the most useful to be the one presented by Microchip Technology, Chandler, Arizona. ( Jan Van Niekirk, AN831). We generated an EXCEL spreadsheet using this article as a template for designing these types of antennas. It must be mentioned that this spreadsheet ( as well as the information in the article was found to be a starting point for the design. Some tweaking is still required using measurements.)This spreadsheet is available for download by interested parties from the SPG website located at http://www.signalpro.biz under Free Stuff.
