 We designed an antenna for our new product and we would like to have your feedback on it before making the prototypes. Below is the design 
 
 
 
 The dxf file is attached aswell

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What are the dimensions? I do not have SW to open the dxf file.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In general these antennas can be dependent on the distance between the different turns/bends. Unless you have simulated it or verified you risk making PCBs with an antenna that does not work very well, and you might instead want to use an antenna that has already been verified, or e.g. a &lt;a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.whitepapers/dita/whitepapers/pdflinks/nwp_008.html?cp=11_17"&gt;quarterwave monopole&lt;/a&gt; that is not as dependent on such factors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Andreas&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
