Parameters Impact

Comment

Casing

++

A casing change will impact the frequency tuning

It is better to keep ABS PC type casing

PCB length

++

PCB length will impact the frequency tuning as well as
the antenna Bandwidth

PCB width

+++

PCB width will impact the frequency tuning as well as
the antenna Bandwidth

It will require a retuning and matching of the antenna

Component location

+

Changing the electronic is not critical though it may
require

Avoid placing big components next to the antenna

Battery location

++

The battery can be changed but an antenna tuning
may be necessary

Try to keep the battery as far as possible from the
antenna and avoid long wire to connect it to the PCB

Matching Adjusting the dimension B will impact the antenna matching impedance of the antenna A B As any antenna the sens it antenna uses the PCB to operate and is impacted by its surrounding e g casing Therefore implementing the sens it antenna in your device can require some tuning and matching in order to optimize the antenna performance This optimization can be done by adjusting two parameters...
