Short circuit between Antenna and Ground plane

[man4567890]

There seem to be a short circuit between the ground plane and the Antenna connection pad

Even on the boards I ordered from a PCB manufacturer, with nothing populated on the board, it shows as a full short

If I cut the track in the A, the board works as expected

Is the short on purpose? Must it be cut?

Hi,
I know that it can seem strange, but this type of antenna (Inverted F antenna) is optimized thanks to this short circuit.
By cutting this line, you will reduce by 3-4dB the gain of the antenna.

So don't worry about the short circuit.

Kind regards
