When ordering maple leaf antennae it is often much easier (and cheaper) to order them in bulk in panelized form.
Here are the points to remember: (taking pcbway /jlcpcb as examples)
- Upload the entire zip file in the upload section.
- Choose the PCB thickness to be 1mm (very important to keep the tuning of the antenna)
- Choose single PCB (not panelized by customer or company)
- Leave the rest of the settings at default.
- Normally each batch should get you 5x5=25pieces. (Share it with your local community members )
- Remember to order the appropriate antenna connector. (I prefer to solder directly the end of a sma / U.fl pigtail)
