Hello everybody,
I have etched a bowtie antenna for 1900 - 2000 MHz on RT Duriod PCB with DK = 2.94. The PCB is double sided, the back will be used as a ground plane and the other is the antenna. I have a question on how to solder on the PCB mount SMA to the antenna. I have searched online and i can't find clear picture on how to solder it on. Also would the bowtie need to have microstrips or could i just connect them directly? Sorry i am very inexperienced in this, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
