Abstract
In this short communication, we will demonstrate the feasibility of designing a miniaturized antenna featuring direct matching to a low noise amplifier chipset. Our proposed design approach is verified by matching a small antenna directly to a chipset designed to operate at the ISM band. Such design methodology is applicable to many commercial applications extending its applicability to systems such as RFIDs and GPS receivers.
