Hello,
I just did some experiments using a ceramic patch antenna inside a
small plastic (80 x 30 x 20mm) screw box and experienced much bader signals at lower elevations.
The plastic is marked as PS (I guess polystyrole ?). Further experiments
covering a GPS with the same kind of box seemed to effect the signals
too. On the other hand covering the patch with a flat pcs of the same
material didnt effect the antenna.
Is there possibly a cavity effect?
What to take best?
Any ideas?
Thank you
