6.3.3 Installation
Two holes for M5 screws are provided for mounting the antenna. The antenna is suitable for
mounting on metallic and non-metallic surfaces.
Note
Achieving optimum wave propagation
To achieve
optimum wave propagation,
the antenna should not be surrounded by conducting
objects. The area between antenna and transponder should also allow wave propagation
without interference.
Note
Antenna gain depends on the mounting surface
Note that the
antenna gain depends on the material of the mounting surface. If the antenna
is mounted on a metallic surface, the antenna gain is
-5 dBi. If the antenna is mounted on a
-metallic surface, the antenna gain is -10 dBi.
