A question about awk search

I want to search a field and print first field in these record. There is a "*" in the field I want to search, like "TRBD2*01".
I used the command like this:
Code:
awk '/TRBD2*01/ {print $1}' test.txt

But it doesn't work. The command line

Code:
 awk '/TRBD2/ {print $1}' test.txt

will work.

How should i do?

Thank you!
