Abstract
A matching circuit for an antenna, including a printed circuit substrate and an inductor, coupled to the antenna, made by printing a trace on a surface of the substrate. A first capacitor is formed in series with the inductor by creating a gap in the inductor trace. Preferably, the inductor shunts the antenna to ground, and a second capacitor is coupled in series with the antenna.
