Antenna Q&A

Enter your keywords to find answers:

 

[ANT]”Is a flexible antenna (a wire) simply soldered close to the RF-Plane sufficient aa antenna – or a perpendicular soldered stiff wire with quarter wavelength over a ground plane leads to the best result?

[ANT]”How free must an PCB antenna strip be? I.e. minimum distance to neighbor parts/ground lines?

[ANT] Which antenna should I use to get the best range at 868Mhz

[ANT] What is the best antenna for my application?

[ANT] We are making device based on your module. We need advice regarding antenna, because we’d like to use best possible antenna. Does it make sense to use long antenna, f.e full wave antenna. What would be theoretical gain comparing to half-wave antenna?

[ANT] Is it possible for modules to share the antenna?

[ANT] I would like to ask you if you have some reference design for usage of chip antenna with 868 MHz RC1181-TM.

[ANT] I have an existing 2.4GHz design. Now I want to change to an 868 MHz solution. Can I reuse the antenna?

[ANT] I have a question about which 868 MHz antenna to use. Which antenna do you recommend.

[ANT] I get shorter range than expected. What can be wrong?

[ANT] How wide should my routing of RF from module to antenna be?

[ANT] How much longer range can I get by changing form a 0dBi to 3 dBi antenna?

[ANT] How long shall a trace of PCB antenna for 868MHz

[ANT] How large must the ground plane be for a monopole whip antenna?

[ANT] How do I make ground system for the module?

[ANT] How can I optimize my antenna performance?

[ANT] How can I hand-solder the first prototypes?

[ANT] For the receiver we have planned to use a SMA 169 MHz antenna. We are in contact with several suppliers. From your side and your customer experience do you have recommendations regarding SMA antennas ref and/or antenna suppliers ?

[ANT] Do I need to CE certify my product for Europe when using the radio module?

[ANT] Can I use the module without antenna for very short range.

[ANT] Can I use an external antenna on my product and feed RF from PCB to housing in a coax cable?

[ANT] Can I use a PCB antenna on 169 MHz?

[ANT] Can I use a directional antenna with the module?

[ANT] Can I use a chip antenna on 868/915 MHz?

[ANT] Can I use a chip antenna on 169 MHz?

[ANT] Can I somehow make a PCB antenna for 915 MHz more compact?

[ANT] Can I make the antenna “snake-like” similar to the one on the bluetooth module ? I’m not sure yet if it fits even like this.

[ANT] Can I just compare the specified gain of different antennas?

[ANT] “We will perform a radiaton pattern measurement in a lab (no certification, only performance measurement). For that we need unmodulated Tx on lowest and highest channel. – For the non-HP I guess we can use the: RC24xx_2405_TX_UNMOD_0xF5.hex RC24xx_2480_TX_UNMOD_0xF5.hex – Can we use this for HP as well, is the PA and LNA controlled with this FW so we get the full power? “

[ANT] “The problem is that that demo kit has a much longer range compared to the design. When we mount their homemade wire antenna onto the demo board the range is like 250 meter in-line with our needs. However on our own design it is only 50m range. Everything else work fine.  Is this an issue on the PCB or an Antenna matching/design issue? “

[ANT] “If we use a SMA antenna it will increase significantly the cost of the transmitter We are looking for an embedded low cost antenna solution to be inserted in our enclosure ( coil, ceramic or any other alternative…). Do you have customer experience in this field ? What are your customers using ? Do you have any recommendations ? “

[ANT] “Hello we would like to use your module in a space limited device. What chip antennas do you recommend for your module RC1180?”
