Hi just a brief query, does anyone know if the propagation range of a helical antenna would be adversly effected by the addition of heat-shrink for protection from a pcb??
Im having a reduction in received power and think that maybe having an insulator semi-between the coils is causing this but my antenna theory is not too hot atm and im not sure of the theory to investigate this however practically it seems to cause 5-10dBm reduction from my test point.
Thanks for you interest!!!
