[GENERAL] How does a folded pcb antenna performs? Is there a reduction in gain versus a straight antenna ?

A folded pcb antenna may perform as good as sma quarter wave antenna. The antenna performance is mostly depending on the ground plane. The main difference is that a folded antenna will have different radiation pattern, and not have the 360 deg direction as a quarter wave standing on a solid ground plane.

    • [GENERAL] We are currently laying out our PCB to use your RC1180-RC232 and ask if there are any preferred methods that you could advise, to ensure we obtain immunity to 8KV ESD signals, especially when applied to the ground side of the antenna connection. The unit also connects to a standard USB computer port.
    • [GENERAL] We are loosing packets, about 625 packets transmitted ( at 32ms), we have 1 or 2 lost 3- only one transmitter and one receiver.
    • [GENERAL] It seems that the problem does not come from the transmitter since they did see the problem by putting a second receiver and it is the same. Do they have to increase the transmission power of the transmitter ? They are working at 0dbm, 100 kbps and range 5 meters ( max 40 meters) Is it the CRC error which cancel the data ?
