Abstract
An apparatus and method for matching an antenna having a high or low impedance with a transceiver circuit having an impedance of 50 ohms. A multilayer substrate, such as one or more printed circuit boards, is provided and has the various components of a matching circuit formed on including a capacitor and an inductor. The components are formed on the substrate using printed circuit techniques. A radiating element is connected to the matching circuit. The radiating element may be a discrete antenna or may also be formed on the substrate.
