Faq; Communication Distance Is Too Short - Ebyte E18 Series User Manual

the module will be permanently damaged;
Please check the stability of the power supply. Voltage can not fluctuate greatly and frequently；

When designing the power supply circuit for the module, it is often recommended to reserve more than 30% of the

margin, so the whole machine is beneficial for long-term stable operation;
The module should be as far away as possible from the power supply, transformers, high-frequency wiring and other

parts with large electromagnetic interference;
Bottom Layer High-frequency digital routing, high-frequency analog routing, and power routing must be avoided

under the module. If it is necessary to pass through the module, assume that the module is soldered to the Top Layer,
and the copper is spread on the Top Layer of the module contact part(well grounded), it must be close to the digital
part of the module and routed in the Bottom Layer;
Assuming the module is soldered or placed over the Top Layer, it is wrong to randomly route over the Bottom Layer

or other layers, which will affect the module's spurs and receiving sensitivity to varying degrees;
It is assumed that there are devices with large electromagnetic interference around the module that will greatly

affect the performance. It is recommended to keep them away from the module according to the strength of the
interference. If necessary, appropriate isolation and shielding can be done;
Assume that there are traces with large electromagnetic interference (high-frequency digital, high-frequency analog,

power traces) around the module that will greatly affect the performance of the module. It is recommended to stay
away from the module according to the strength of the interference.If necessary, appropriate isolation and shielding
can be done;
If the communication line uses a 5V level, a 1k-5.1k resistor must be connected in series (not recommended, there is

still a risk of damage);
Try to stay away from some physical layers such as TTL protocol at 2.4GHz , for example: USB3.0;

The mounting structure of antenna has a great influence on the performance of the module. It is necessary to ensure

that the antenna is exposed, preferably vertically upward. When the module is mounted inside the case, use a good
antenna extension cable to extend the antenna to the outside;
The antenna must not be installed inside the metal case, which will cause the transmission distance to be greatly

weakened.

7. FAQ

7.1 Communication distance is too short

The communication distance will be affected when obstacle exists;

Data lose rate will be affected by temperature, humidity and co-channel interference;

The ground will absorb and reflect wireless radio wave, so the performance will be poor when testing near ground;

Sea water has great ability in absorbing wireless radio wave, so performance will be poor when testing near the sea;

The signal will be affected when the antenna is near metal object or put in a metal case;

Power register was set incorrectly, air data rate is set as too high (the higher the air data rate, the shorter the

distance);
The power supply low voltage under room temperature is lower than recommended value, the lower the voltage, the
