In this short video I illustrate a few issues with poor antenna placement. If you mount an omni antenna, be it helium miner, 4G, 5G, WiFi or any application too close to a metal surface or pole it will cause trouble.
You may either find a nice directional antenna in the setup, or worst case you will find a massive problem in the forward direction.
In this video we show how it's best to just stay clear of antenna obstructions, both from a radiation pattern perspective as from an input impedance / VSWR point of view.
