4.4.2 Interference
Besides the antenna performance, the interference on the user board also affects the
radio performance (especially the TIS) of the module. To guarantee high performance
of the module, the interference sources on the user board must be properly controlled.
On the user board, there are various interference sources, such as the LCD, CPU,
audio circuits, and power supply. All the interference sources emit interference
signals that affect the normal operation of the module. For example, the module
sensitivity can be decreased due to interference signals. Therefore, during the design,
you need to consider how to lessen the effects of interference sources on the module.
To lessen the effects of interference sources on the module, you can use an LCD
with optimized performance, shield the LCD interference signals, shield the signal
cable of the board, or design filter circuits.
Huawei is capable of making technical suggestions on radio performance
improvement of the module.
