Hi all!
I am working on making a wrist watch that uses a SAMD21G mcu, and an E-Paper display. I was thinking it would be cool to add GPS functionality to the watch since why not!? To make thinks a bit easier on myself, I am going to use the Venus638FLPx-L GPS module since sparkfun has a breakout board for it which I can look at as a guide for my circuit. I am going to make a test PCB with just the GPS module and basic components to make sure my circuit works before I try to integrate it into my watch. Now is where this post comes in. Since I need the antenna to be as small as possible to fit on my crowded watch PCB, I am going to use one of these ant016008LCD ceramic antennas. This is my first time doing any RF electronics, so I have no clue what im doing
. I have layed out a PCB in eagle with what I think looks about right going by the antenna datasheet. I would be very greatful if anyone who knows what they're doing could see if it looks like a reasonable layout that would work reasonably well. Im not after super fast acquisition times, or really high accuracy, just something that works.
Some more info on my layout:
-I used a keep-out area of 15x6mm for the antenna, according to this application note
-The antenna has an impedance of 50 Ohms, which the Venus638FLPx-L says it is already matched to in page 11 of the datasheet
Thanks in advance for any advice!
