into account. The appropriate antenna gain prolongs the service life of relevant
batteries.
The following antenna gain is recommended for MC509:
Gain of the master
antenna ≤ 2.5 dBi
The antenna consists of the antenna body and the relevant RF transmission cable. Take
the RF transmission cable into account when measuring any of the preceding antenna
indicators.
Huawei cooperates with various famous antenna suppliers who are able to make
suggestions on antenna design, for example, Amphenol, Skycross, etc.

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 reduce the effects of interference sources on the module.
You can take the following measures: Use an LCD with optimized performance;
shield the LCD interference signals; shield the signal cable of the board; or design
filter circuits.
Huawei is able to make technical suggestions on radio performance improvement of
the module.
