APPLICATION SPECIFICATION 5.3 RF PERFORMANCE AS A FUNCTION OF DIFFERENT DISTANCE BETWEEN VERTICAL METAL MATERIAL AND ANTENNA An evaluation was done with 5 different distances from the antenna which is located at the recommended location to the vertical metal material (50mm x 4mm x 2mm). The 5 distances are as following: 1mm, 3mm, 5mm, 7mm, 10mm. From the study, we recommend that a metal material (50mm x 4mm x 2mm) should be placed at least 3mm away from the antenna.

APPLICATION SPECIFICATION 5.4 RF PERFORMANCE AS A FUNCTION OF DIFFERENT DISTANCE BETWEEN HORIZONTAL PLASTIC COVER AND ANTENNA An evaluation was done with 5 different distances from antenna to the horizontal plastic cover (50mm x 50mm x 2mm). The 5 distances are as following: 0mm、3mm、5mm、7mm、10mm. From the study, we recommend that a plastic cover (50mm x 50mm x 2mm) should be placed at least 3mm away from the antenna. When the distance is less than 3mm, the antenna performance will be significantly degraded.
