Hi, Sorry if someone have already made this question but I couldn't find anything similar.

I'm very new at this EAGLE thing and I'm trying to make a footprint for a bluetooth (MDBT40-P-256RV3) and I have to draw an antenna but I don't know how to create it on eagle. Also,I didnt find any measure on the datasheet for the antenna and I have to deliver a project tomorrow. Everything else is done but the antenna :( can anybody help me please?
Thanks! :D

duplicate a vendor's reference PCB design.
Antenna design is more art than science.

Better yet, just attach 1/4 wavelength * 0.7 in length of wire to the board. It'll work better.
