Range
The antenna choice and position affects controls the system range. Keep it clear of any large
metal components in the system. The best position by far, is protruding vertically from the top
of the product. This is often not desirable for practical reasons and thus a compromise may be
needed. Note that the space around the antenna is as important as the antenna itself. All ra-
dio systems are dependant on a radio signal being received through airspace.
The range quoted is the optimal in direct line of sight without obstacles and in good atmos-
pheric conditions.
Range is affected by many things, for example local environmental conditions, atmospheric
conditions, interference from other radio transmitters. For evaluating the local environment
please see our RF Meter (DS006)
In the worst case, range quoted may be drastically reduced.
Recommended Antenna
The BEAD Antenna provides a Miniature PCB mounting solution
where performance is required from a small space .
Available as straight or 90 degree mount this antenna is a gen-
eral purpose omni-directional. It measures 8.5mm long, Dia
7mm.
