Hi all,
My understanding is that an inductor will tend towards blocking an AC signal from passing through it.
I have recently constructed a circuit for a small radio IC (http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/96892.pdf page 17, figure 8) for FSK operation. However, there is a an inductor in series with the output. How does this not block the RF energy? Is it because of the use of a loop antenna, rather than a monopole?
If I were wanting to use a monopole antenna, what would be the best configuration? Simply remove the inductor?
Many thanks for your time,
Sparky
