## **3. Electrical Property** 

## **3.1 Test Setup** 

FXP.07 was design with a cell phone size ground plane (110 x 45 mm) so works the best with this ground plane. Tests were setup to demonstrate its RF properties with this ground plane, in free space and adhere to a plastic. Satimo SG64 3D-chamber is used for radiation and efficiency test with 5% tolerance.

- **3.2 Mounting instructions and ground-plane connection** 

Peel back 3m paper. On the underside of the antenna is automotive grade 3m adhesive 

(glue) for sticking the FXP.07 directly to plastic (e.g. housing). The antenna can be curved around housing but should not be folded sharply 

Ground connection - this small square pad at the bottom of the FXP.07 can be seen when paper is removed. This should be connected to extra ground or metal to increase efficiency (e.g. allow pad to touch the side of a PCB like the picture above 

This is the antenna trace or signal feed and should be allowed to be free from the PCB and allowed to exist in free area on non metal area (plastic housing)_

Miniature antennas couple to the ground plane for radiation so the efficiency of the antenna without a ground plane is largely degrades. These tests demonstrate the best performance (with the designed ground) and the worst performance (with no ground) possible of FXP.07. Adhere the antenna to a plastic changes the result, particularly in higher frequency bands.
