Placement of resin or plastic parts:
Placement of metal parts
 The minimum safe distance for metal parts without seriously compromising the antenna
(tuning) is 40 mm top/bottom and 30 mm left or right.
 Metal close to the module antenna (bottom, top, left, right, any direction) will have
degradation on the antenna performance. The amount of that degradation is entirely
system-dependent, meaning you will need to perform some testing with your host
application.
 Any metal closer than 20 mm will begin to significantly degrade performance (S11, gain,
radiation efficiency).
 You should test the range with a mock-up (or actual prototype) of the product to assess the
effects of enclosure height (and materials, whether metal or plastic).
