Questions

How big is the LpdaAntenna PCB?

It measures 96 × 64 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the LpdaAntenna use?

8 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the LpdaAntenna KiCad files?

From the marcusmueller/LPDA repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is lpdaAntenna.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the LpdaAntenna design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask marcusmueller before reusing the design.
