report for the selected antenna in your device that will clearly show it complying with the

peak gain limits, so you can be assured you are meeting regulatory requirements for that

module.

For example, a module manufacturer may state that the antenna must have less than

2dBi peak gain, but you don’t need to select an embedded antenna that has a peak gain

of less than 2dBi in free-space. This will give you a less optimized solution. It is better to

go for a slightly higher free-space peak gain of 3dBi or more if available. Once that

antenna gets integrated into your device, performance will degrade below this 2dBi peak

gain due to the effects of GND plane, surrounding components, and device housing. If

you want to be absolutely sure, contact Taoglas and we will test. Choosing a Taoglas

antenna with a higher peak gain than what is specified by the module manufacturer and

enlisting our help will ensure you are getting the best performance possible without

exceeding the peak gain limits.

Other connector options are available or custom versions can be made subject to NRE

and MOQ. Contact your regional Taoglas office for details.
