That´s exactly what I did, although I used the "fake" approach before
that , when I didn't have a UT on hand.

As has already been pointed out, no special antenna is needed as long as
it's happy with a 5V supply. I believe I used a connector from a
wifi-module of a laptop computer to put together an adapter. 
Aren't these called  smc-connectors and come in normal and reversed
fashion?

Have fun,
Guido
