‹ Experiment 1:
The results show that the center frequency can be shifted
up/down by about 50MHz by changing the antenna land
pattern.
‹ Experiment2:
The center frequency can also be shifted down to 2.5GHz by
the matching circuit (shown as the page5).
Note: Combining experiments 1 & 2 can give the designer the
desired Fo
