Recommended Assembly for Slim Module    Applying insulating tape or other insulator and adhere it onto the module or LCD panel. This is to prevent the module touching on the panel ground. (please note: This gap and insulating tap are necessary when the noise inducing from the LCD panel)    To achieve 40% antenna efficiency, Giving at least 5mm gap and applying insulating tap in between module & panel for better isolation.      5mm gap 5mm gap

Solution for Thermal Reduction and Improving Antenna Gain     Adopting copper /aluminum foil or heat sink and then adhere it onto the top of slim module shielding case. The bigger the foil/heat sink, the better the thermal conduction.  Please note that the size of foil/heat sink should just fit properly onto the shielding case. Foil/ heat sink size larger than shielding area will impact the antenna performance. See below picture as a reference for correct cutting size. Copper foil is highly recommended as it will enhance antenna performance.

Recommended Placement for Slim Module’s Antennas.  Leaving a gap between the slim module and NB housing ( the screw hole) for better antenna performance.  For Wi-Fi side, 20mm gap is recommended. Note: please avoid any metal parts to cover, touch or surround with antenna. Remark: If the webcam cable must go through MS-3822 module, please routing the top of panel edge and “flat cable” is the only solution to adopt.  Webcam cable (flat cable)  (Through the top of panel edge) 20mm GAP ( Wi-Fi)
