APPLICATION SPECIFICATION 5.0 ASSEMBLY GUIDELINE The flex antenna comes with an adhesive 3m9077 for assemble onto the plastic wall of the system. The surface should be smooth with ra<1.6um and need to clean the surface before sticking this product. The antenna cannot be placed on a metallic surface. 5.1 HOW TO TEAR FLEX RELEASE PAPER 1. Find cut line on flex back side 2. Bend flex slight along cut line 3.
APPLICATION SPECIFICATION 5.2 CABLE BENDING During the assembly of the antenna in a device, the cable needs to be positioned away from the antenna flex to achieve best performance. The cable must be away from the Flex edge at least 5mm as shown in figure 5.2.1. If the cable bends into the antenna flex, the antenna performance will be degraded.
