    Hi,\n
    \n
    I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
    \n
    I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
    \n
    The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
    \n
    What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
    \n
    They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
    \n
    You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
    \n
    **So my questions are:**\n
    \n
    1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
    \n
    2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
    \n
    3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
    \n
    Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

    Hi,\n
    \n
    I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
    \n
    I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
    \n
    The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
    \n
    What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
    \n
    They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
    \n
    You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
    \n
    **So my questions are:**\n
    \n
    1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
    \n
    2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
    \n
    3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
    \n
    Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

    1. no, this is fine, you can find it in routers all the time (usually with printed antennas, or wire antennas)\n
    2. so it seems, however remember that at microwave frequencies you might start seeing distributed elements as a part of matching circuit (patches, open or shorted transmission lines etc) every fraction of mm is critical. i don’t know what impedance gets this thing on output, but it might be very well non-real. it’s usually done so that everything is matched to 50 ohms\n
    3. assuming that output is matched to 50 ohm, which is usually the case, you can use any length of coax, as long as losses don’t kick in too badly. this means you also have to make your antenna 50 ohms. i see you’re using ceramic antenna, which provides matching circuit for you, but there are other options like inverted-F antenna (3cm long) or even smaller zigzagged *inverted F antenna or halo antennas (some 2cm dia), which would require matching. tradeoff is better efficiency (less heating; one of these antennas wastes almost 40% of power) and the fact that you can make them on your own

      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

      1. no, this is fine, you can find it in routers all the time (usually with printed antennas, or wire antennas)\n
      2. so it seems, however remember that at microwave frequencies you might start seeing distributed elements as a part of matching circuit (patches, open or shorted transmission lines etc) every fraction of mm is critical. i don’t know what impedance gets this thing on output, but it might be very well non-real. it’s usually done so that everything is matched to 50 ohms\n
      3. assuming that output is matched to 50 ohm, which is usually the case, you can use any length of coax, as long as losses don’t kick in too badly. this means you also have to make your antenna 50 ohms. i see you’re using ceramic antenna, which provides matching circuit for you, but there are other options like inverted-F antenna (3cm long) or even smaller zigzagged *inverted F antenna or halo antennas (some 2cm dia), which would require matching. tradeoff is better efficiency (less heating; one of these antennas wastes almost 40% of power) and the fact that you can make them on your own

It answers my question and raises a whole bunch more :D, I think I need to brush up on general RF and get a better understanding of how it actually works. I shall do some youtubing and reading on it. I found a really good pdf that discussed antenna design but a lot of it I didn’t understand, so I’m going to need to learn a bit more.\n

    Ill also take a look at the drone antennas too.\n

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n

      1. no, this is fine, you can find it in routers all the time (usually with printed antennas, or wire antennas)\n
      2. so it seems, however remember that at microwave frequencies you might start seeing distributed elements as a part of matching circuit (patches, open or shorted transmission lines etc) every fraction of mm is critical. i don’t know what impedance gets this thing on output, but it might be very well non-real. it’s usually done so that everything is matched to 50 ohms\n
      3. assuming that output is matched to 50 ohm, which is usually the case, you can use any length of coax, as long as losses don’t kick in too badly. this means you also have to make your antenna 50 ohms. i see you’re using ceramic antenna, which provides matching circuit for you, but there are other options like inverted-F antenna (3cm long) or even smaller zigzagged *inverted F antenna or halo antennas (some 2cm dia), which would require matching. tradeoff is better efficiency (less heating; one of these antennas wastes almost 40% of power) and the fact that you can make them on your own

    Thank you for your detailed reply, I really appreciate it. It answers my question and raises a whole bunch more :D, I think I need to brush up on general RF and get a better understanding of how it actually works. I shall do some youtubing and reading on it. I found a really good pdf that discussed antenna design but a lot of it I didn’t understand, so I’m going to need to learn a bit more.\n

    Ill also take a look at the drone antennas too.\n

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

    Thank you for your detailed reply, I really appreciate it. It answers my question and raises a whole bunch more :D, I think I need to brush up on general RF and get a better understanding of how it actually works. I shall do some youtubing and reading on it. I found a really good pdf that discussed antenna design but a lot of it I didn’t understand, so I’m going to need to learn a bit more.\n
    \n
    Ill also take a look at the drone antennas too.\n

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

        1. no, this is fine, you can find it in routers all the time (usually with printed antennas, or wire antennas)\n
        2. so it seems, however remember that at microwave frequencies you might start seeing distributed elements as a part of matching circuit (patches, open or shorted transmission lines etc) every fraction of mm is critical. i don’t know what impedance gets this thing on output, but it might be very well non-real. it’s usually done so that everything is matched to 50 ohms\n
        3. assuming that output is matched to 50 ohm, which is usually the case, you can use any length of coax, as long as losses don’t kick in too badly. this means you also have to make your antenna 50 ohms. i see you’re using ceramic antenna, which provides matching circuit for you, but there are other options like inverted-F antenna (3cm long) or even smaller zigzagged *inverted F antenna or halo antennas (some 2cm dia), which would require matching. tradeoff is better efficiency (less heating; one of these antennas wastes almost 40% of power) and the fact that you can make them on your own

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

        1. no, this is fine, you can find it in routers all the time (usually with printed antennas, or wire antennas)\n
        2. so it seems, however remember that at microwave frequencies you might start seeing distributed elements as a part of matching circuit (patches, open or shorted transmission lines etc) every fraction of mm is critical. i don’t know what impedance gets this thing on output, but it might be very well non-real. it’s usually done so that everything is matched to 50 ohms\n
        3. assuming that output is matched to 50 ohm, which is usually the case, you can use any length of coax, as long as losses don’t kick in too badly. this means you also have to make your antenna 50 ohms. i see you’re using ceramic antenna, which provides matching circuit for you, but there are other options like inverted-F antenna (3cm long) or even smaller zigzagged *inverted F antenna or halo antennas (some 2cm dia), which would require matching. tradeoff is better efficiency (less heating; one of these antennas wastes almost 40% of power) and the fact that you can make them on your own

It answers my question and raises a whole bunch more :D, I think I need to brush up on general RF and get a better understanding of how it actually works. I shall do some youtubing and reading on it. I found a really good pdf that discussed antenna design but a lot of it I didn’t understand, so I’m going to need to learn a bit more.\n

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

          1. no, this is fine, you can find it in routers all the time (usually with printed antennas, or wire antennas)\n
          2. so it seems, however remember that at microwave frequencies you might start seeing distributed elements as a part of matching circuit (patches, open or shorted transmission lines etc) every fraction of mm is critical. i don’t know what impedance gets this thing on output, but it might be very well non-real. it’s usually done so that everything is matched to 50 ohms\n
          3. assuming that output is matched to 50 ohm, which is usually the case, you can use any length of coax, as long as losses don’t kick in too badly. this means you also have to make your antenna 50 ohms. i see you’re using ceramic antenna, which provides matching circuit for you, but there are other options like inverted-F antenna (3cm long) or even smaller zigzagged *inverted F antenna or halo antennas (some 2cm dia), which would require matching. tradeoff is better efficiency (less heating; one of these antennas wastes almost 40% of power) and the fact that you can make them on your own

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

          1. no, this is fine, you can find it in routers all the time (usually with printed antennas, or wire antennas)\n
          2. so it seems, however remember that at microwave frequencies you might start seeing distributed elements as a part of matching circuit (patches, open or shorted transmission lines etc) every fraction of mm is critical. i don’t know what impedance gets this thing on output, but it might be very well non-real. it’s usually done so that everything is matched to 50 ohms\n
          3. assuming that output is matched to 50 ohm, which is usually the case, you can use any length of coax, as long as losses don’t kick in too badly. this means you also have to make your antenna 50 ohms. i see you’re using ceramic antenna, which provides matching circuit for you, but there are other options like inverted-F antenna (3cm long) or even smaller zigzagged *inverted F antenna or halo antennas (some 2cm dia), which would require matching. tradeoff is better efficiency (less heating; one of these antennas wastes almost 40% of power) and the fact that you can make them on your own

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

          1. no, this is fine, you can find it in routers all the time (usually with printed antennas, or wire antennas)\n
          2. so it seems, however remember that at microwave frequencies you might start seeing distributed elements as a part of matching circuit (patches, open or shorted transmission lines etc) every fraction of mm is critical. i don’t know what impedance gets this thing on output, but it might be very well non-real. it’s usually done so that everything is matched to 50 ohms\n
          3. assuming that output is matched to 50 ohm, which is usually the case, you can use any length of coax, as long as losses don’t kick in too badly. this means you also have to make your antenna 50 ohms. i see you’re using ceramic antenna, which provides matching circuit for you, but there are other options like inverted-F antenna (3cm long) or even smaller zigzagged *inverted F antenna or halo antennas (some 2cm dia), which would require matching. tradeoff is better efficiency (less heating; one of these antennas wastes almost 40% of power) and the fact that you can make them on your own

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

      1. no, this is fine, you can find it in routers all the time (usually with printed antennas, or wire antennas)\n
      2. so it seems, however remember that at microwave frequencies you might start seeing distributed elements as a part of matching circuit (patches, open or shorted transmission lines etc) every fraction of mm is critical. i don’t know what impedance gets this thing on output, but it might be very well non-real. it’s usually done so that everything is matched to 50 ohms\n
      3. assuming that output is matched to 50 ohm, which is usually the case, you can use any length of coax, as long as losses don’t kick in too badly. this means you also have to make your antenna 50 ohms. i see you’re using ceramic antenna, which provides matching circuit for you, but there are other options like inverted-F antenna (3cm long) or even smaller zigzagged *inverted F antenna or halo antennas (some 2cm dia), which would require matching. tradeoff is better efficiency (less heating; one of these antennas wastes almost 40% of power) and the fact that you can make them on your own

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

      1. no, this is fine, you can find it in routers all the time (usually with printed antennas, or wire antennas)\n
      2. so it seems, however remember that at microwave frequencies you might start seeing distributed elements as a part of matching circuit (patches, open or shorted transmission lines etc) every fraction of mm is critical. i don’t know what impedance gets this thing on output, but it might be very well non-real. it’s usually done so that everything is matched to 50 ohms\n
      3. assuming that output is matched to 50 ohm, which is usually the case, you can use any length of coax, as long as losses don’t kick in too badly. this means you also have to make your antenna 50 ohms. i see you’re using ceramic antenna, which provides matching circuit for you, but there are other options like inverted-F antenna (3cm long) or even smaller zigzagged *inverted F antenna or halo antennas (some 2cm dia), which would require matching. tradeoff is better efficiency (less heating; one of these antennas wastes almost 40% of power) and the fact that you can make them on your own

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

      1. no, this is fine, you can find it in routers all the time (usually with printed antennas, or wire antennas)\n
      2. so it seems, however remember that at microwave frequencies you might start seeing distributed elements as a part of matching circuit (patches, open or shorted transmission lines etc) every fraction of mm is critical. i don’t know what impedance gets this thing on output, but it might be very well non-real. it’s usually done so that everything is matched to 50 ohms\n
      3. assuming that output is matched to 50 ohm, which is usually the case, you can use any length of coax, as long as losses don’t kick in too badly. this means you also have to make your antenna 50 ohms. i see you’re using ceramic antenna, which provides matching circuit for you, but there are other options like inverted-F antenna (3cm long) or even smaller zigzagged *inverted F antenna or halo antennas (some 2cm dia), which would require matching. tradeoff is better efficiency (less heating; one of these antennas wastes almost 40% of power) and the fact that you can make them on your own

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

    i don’t know what are you looking for so i’m just gonna drop some resources that i’ve used:\n
    \n
    starter: [www.antenna-theory.com/antennas/main.php](https://www.antenna-theory.com/antennas/main.php)\n
    \n
    more comprehensive: [www.microwaves101.com/encyclopedias](https://www.microwaves101.com/encyclopedias)\n
    \n
    and on top of that, various amateur radio pages, some are indexed in dxzone.com\n
    \n
    there seem to be two hard limits on antennas in general. one is for approx lossless antennas that are large compared to wavelength: gain, beamwidth and size are related through diffractive limit [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction-limited_system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction-limited_system) it’s really about capture area, which is intuitive for things like parabolic reflectors, but for things like yagi antennas there’s some defined capture area that ultimately depends on their length\n
    \n
    the other one is on non-directional antennas that are small compared to wavelength. basically one good antenna that you can make is halfwave dipole, you can try various trickery to make it smaller, but this comes at a cost of either smaller bandwidth or increased losses, or both to lesser degree. it might make sense to make an antenna with 70% efficiency which is 3x smaller for example. it all depends on precise requirements\n
    \n
    at the end of the day the most important material in any antenna are tradeoffs

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

    The nRF was a useless inclusion tbh, sorry for the confusion. The nRF already has an smd antenna.\n
    \n
    The thing with those antennas is the size of the antenna vs the size of the module, it’s almost twice the size, negating any benefit of having such a small module.\n
    \n
    Hence my desire to use an SMD antenna on a small board instead.

    The nRF was a useless inclusion tbh, sorry for the confusion. The nRF already has an smd antenna.\n
    \n
    The thing with those antennas is the size of the antenna vs the size of the module, it’s almost twice the size, negating any benefit of having such a small module.\n
    \n
    Hence my desire to use an SMD antenna on a small board instead.

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

      The nRF was a useless inclusion tbh, sorry for the confusion. The nRF already has an smd antenna.\n

      The thing with those antennas is the size of the antenna vs the size of the module, it’s almost twice the size, negating any benefit of having such a small module.\n

      Hence my desire to use an SMD antenna on a small board instead.

      The nRF was a useless inclusion tbh, sorry for the confusion. The nRF already has an smd antenna.\n

      The thing with those antennas is the size of the antenna vs the size of the module, it’s almost twice the size, negating any benefit of having such a small module.\n

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

          The nRF was a useless inclusion tbh, sorry for the confusion. The nRF already has an smd antenna.\n

          The thing with those antennas is the size of the antenna vs the size of the module, it’s almost twice the size, negating any benefit of having such a small module.\n

          Hence my desire to use an SMD antenna on a small board instead.

      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

          The nRF was a useless inclusion tbh, sorry for the confusion. The nRF already has an smd antenna.\n

          The thing with those antennas is the size of the antenna vs the size of the module, it’s almost twice the size, negating any benefit of having such a small module.\n

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

            The thing with those antennas is the size of the antenna vs the size of the module, it’s almost twice the size, negating any benefit of having such a small module.\n

            Hence my desire to use an SMD antenna on a small board instead.

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.

            The thing with those antennas is the size of the antenna vs the size of the module, it’s almost twice the size, negating any benefit of having such a small module.\n

      Hi,\n
      \n
      I’m looking for some help in a field that is super technical and I don’t fully understand.\n
      \n
      I’m planning on using a bunch of these seeed studio Esp modules for some home automation projects, especially because they have a lipo battery charger making it great for portable stuff.\n
      \n
      The thing is the the ESP32s have U.FL SMD antenna connectors. Most of the antennas that you can buy with U.FL connections while are reasonably small, come with 50-150mm leads, which sort of makes the small size of the module a little less valid.\n
      \n
      What I’d like to do is get a female U.FL SMD connector and make a small daugherboard with an 2.4GHz SMD antenna on it, for instance a [Janson 2450AT42B100](https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42B100/2450AT42B100.pdf) or a [Molex 479480001](https://tools.molex.com/pdm_docs/as/AS-47948-001-001.pdf).\n
      \n
      They go over the circuit board requirements quite thoroughly so I don’t think designing it will be too difficult, but what I don’t know is, they say that you need impedance matching on the circuit, and I see that there appears to be something that looks like it on the ESP circuit diagram, but I’m not actually sure if it is or not:\n
      \n
      You can see it in the middle near the bottom of the diagram here: [Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/XIAO_WiFi/Resources/Seeeduino-XIAO-ESP32C3-SCH.pdf)\n
      \n
      **So my questions are:**\n
      \n
      1: Is this a dumb idea, having a direct plug-on SMD antenna?\n
      \n
      2: Is that an impedance matchning circuit between LNA_IN on the ESP chip and U.FL-R-SMT-1?\n
      \n
      3: If I can’t get a female U.FL SMD connector, would using one with a lead and shortening it to make the daughterboard able to be much closer to the connector affect anything? Do I need to ensure that the lead length matches the wavelength at all?\n
      \n
      Edit: Found [this](https://www.digikey.ie/en/products/detail/hirose-electric-co-ltd/U-FL-PR-SMT2-5-1-10/2201792) SMD female U.FL, so they do exist.
