PCB design check
The component layout, RF circuitry and positioning of parts such as LCD screens, batteries or motors can impact antenna performance. Where possible, keep these components away from the antenna. However, there are also important considerations to make with respect of vias, transmission lines, keep-out areas and ground plane space. Every antenna datasheet contains general advice and layout guidance.
