FXP830.24.0100B Datasheet, PDF (3/14 Pages) Taoglas antenna solutions – Very High Efficiency

For example, a module manufacturer may state that the antenna must have less than
2dBi peak gain, but you don’t need to select an embedded antenna that has a peak gain
of less than 2dBi in free-space. This will give you a less optimized solution. It is better to
go for a slightly higher free-space peak gain of 3dBi or more if available. Once that
antenna gets integrated into your device, performance will degrade below this 2dBi peak
gain due to the effects of GND plane, surrounding components, and device housing. If
you want to be absolutely sure, contact Taoglas and we will test. Choosing a Taoglas
antenna with a higher peak gain than what is specified by the module manufacturer and
enlisting our help will ensure you are getting the best performance possible without
exceeding the peak gain limits.
