Any metal closer than 20 mm will begin to significantly degrade performance (S11, gain, radiation
efficiency).
It is best that you test the range with a mock-up (or actual prototype) of the product to assess effects of
enclosure height (and materials, whether metal or plastic).
External Antenna Integration with BL652-SC
Please refer to the regulatory sections for FCC, IC, CE, and Japan for details of use of BL652-Sx with external
antennas in each regulatory region.
The BL652 family has been designed to operate with the below external antennas (with a maximum gain of
2.0 dBi). The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. See Table 29. External antennas improve radiation
efficiency.
