4.3 Antenna
design
The antenna design is among the most important topics of a module
integration. It has big influence on the coverage range of your product. With
a poor antenna design your product will not have the full range of typical
DECT equipment.
The internal wire antennas of the HW 86010 are usually located inside the
housing of a device. Please be aware of the space needed for the
antennas, as indicated in Figure 4.
Hints for antenna design:
•
The housing of your device should be plastic. If the housing is metal you
must not use the internal wire antennas.
•
Some plastic materials are conductive, so they behave similar to metal.
Particularly avoid graphite (sometimes used for black plastics) and metal
paint (sometimes used as EMC shielding).
•
Position the module in your device so that the antennas can be kept far
from electronic signals and components.
•
Be particularly careful with fast signals (like µC bus signals). If they
come close to the antennas there is a good chance of crosstalk.
•
There should be enough free space around the antennas. If they come
very close to the plastic housing there is an influence. You can
compensate this influence by reducing the antenna length to some
extend. This fine tuning should be done by an RF engineer.
•
We recommend that your PCB has a ground plane below the antennas.
Depending on the physical constraints of your device, you may not be able
to entirely satisfy all above points. Finding the right compromise for
obtaining the optimum RF performance under given space constraints
requires in-depth RF experience. Please contact Höft & Wessel if you need
any assistance with that topic.
