The antenna uses PIFA technology and should thus be mounted on a ground plane. If there are several layers in the
PCB, there is an advantage to add vias for smooth interconnection of the ground areas to avoid splits in the ground
plane. It is also important that there is a ground clearance around the NC pads and the RF feed pad, through all layers
of the PCB.
It is recommended to implement a matching network to optimize the antenna impedance in your
application. The components can be positioned under the antenna.
