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.
