Answer 1

Hi Ashwath,

What is the overall size of the PCB the antennas are installed on?  We recommend a minimum of 30mm by 30mm board size.

The antenna require the proper trace routing and matching network. If these are not laid out properly the antenna will have poor performance.
Please contact techsupport@antenova.com to share images of your device and arrange to have a more in depth conversation about tuning the antennas.

Digikey has 11K units in stock right now so you can order as many as you need.

Best regards,
