Flush-Mounting the Antenna
The antenna’s RF field is sensitive to the proximity of metal. There are three options when flush-
mounting the antenna in a metal surface or bezel:
1.
Mount with the RF emitting surface of the antenna at least 1cm forward of any metal.
2.
Mount with the RF emitting surface of the antenna at least 1cm behind any metal.
Note:
this
reduces the antenna’s effective range.
3.
Mount flush with the metal but allow a minimum of 1cm spacing between the antenna and
the metal.
In all three cases,
make sure to test the antenna
mounting before engaging in a production-ready
installation.
