Around the antenna (2~5mm) is clearance and not to parallel to the main board and panel as possible. That means the surface of the patch antenna should be higher than the surrounding surface, in order to cause the antenna to the maximum radiation gain
Around the antenna can’t put metal objects, The whole shell can’t be covered the metal spray paint and jerked the metal objects.
As the patch antenna is a directional antenna, the surface of antenna should be placed toward the sky.
Under the conditions of the space on the client machine, the reflector is larger, that means the size of the PCB is larger, the antenna gain is higher and the reception is better.
Magnetic field around the antenna can’t exist, that is not possible to put magnets around the antenna
Different color and material has a direct impact on the frequency. They need to be debugged separately while the customer’s same machine usually have two to three colors.
The machine debugging require to proved complete parts, including Main Board, Battery, Panel and Shielding Case etc. Try to provide the final production models, because the customer's design changes are affecting the electrical specifications of the antenna.
EMI interference is the biggest problem affecting the antenna debugging.
Because while the antenna receiving the signal, the noise will also be received into the system. Once the EMI interference in the vicinity of the antenna center frequency is greater, the CN values will decline directly.
Therefore, for large EMI interference, poor reception are not bad debugged to antenna, which may be the customer's machine in the irrational process of wiring board layout, grounding caused.
Currently we can only adjust the offset frequency of antenna to try to avoid EMI interference frequency, and slightly improve reception. If debugging the offset frequency is invalid, then we only can provide the best results to customers.
For EMI interference of the machine is serious, we should take the customer to confirm whether there will be cost down program. For the EMI will be different between the cost down and before, It maybe lead to poor reception for debugged samples or shipping antenna, and returns etc.
In this case, it should be clearly distinguished if the components of client machine are changed, these changes will affect the antenna, rather than the poor performance of the antenna itself.
