It is also best to keep some clearance between the antenna and nearby objects. This includes how the
module is mounted in the product enclosure. Unless the items on the following list of recommendations
are met, the radiation pattern can be heavily distorted.
Whichever antennas are used, it is best to keep a few things in mind when determining their location.

Never place ground plane or copper trace routing underneath the antenna.
LSR recommends keeping metal objects as far away from the antenna as possible. At a very minimum
keep the antennas at least 16mm from any metallic objects, components, or wiring. The farther the
antenna is placed from these interferers, the less the radiation pattern and gain will be perturbed
Do not embed the antenna in a metallic or metalized plastic enclosure.
Try to keep any plastic enclosure greater than 1 cm from the antenna in any orientation.
