12. ADVANTAGES of Flexible antennas with cable
13. MOUNTING
Taoglas flexible PCB antennas use 3M 467 double-sided adhesive for the most
reliable mounting solution. Ideally the Flexible PCB antenna is mounted close to
the outer housing of the device to allow it to radiate outwards and receive signals
without obstruction from internal components in the device. The antenna can be
slid into a slot, screwed down, or affixed with double-sided adhesive. Cable exit
can be moved to different locations on the antenna. Generally the orientation of
the antenna is not critical, as long as clearance to metal components is kept.
14. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
Close proximity to components or housing affects the electrical performance of
all antennas. When placed on a non-conductive area of the board, in most cases
ideally there should be clearance of 20mm in all directions from the
board/housing for maximum efficiency. A reduction in the efficiency of the
antenna efficiency and shift in tuned frequency will be observed if these
clearances are not adhered to. Proximity effects will also have an adverse effect
on the radiation pattern of the antenna. Device housings should never be metal
or have metal materials
15. TUNING
The frequencies of Flexible PCB antennas with cable are easily shifted when
close to other components or even if the cable is bent more than 30 degrees.
This phenomenon is called “detuning”. We offer Flexible PCB antenna samples
to customers on the understanding that they be tested outside the device as a
benchmark performance. The actual production antenna will be customized for
each customer.
This is why Taoglas always offers a tuning service to it’s customers at prototype
integration phase. We “tune” the antenna frequency back to the right bands for
the application at our lab. Samples are sent back to the customer within 2 weeks
of receiving the device along with a test report showing antenna performance
