Placement
A very important factor in achieving maximum performance is the placement of the receiver on the PCB. Make
sure that the PAM-7Q is separated from any other digital circuits on the system board. To achieve this, position
the module’s digital part towards the digital section on the system PCB. Exercise care if placing the receiver in
proximity to heat-emitting circuitry. The RF part of the receiver is very sensitive to temperature, and sudden
changes can have an adverse impact on performance.
The RF part of the receiver is a temperature sensitive component. Avoid high temperature
drift and air vents near the receiver.
