Re: How do I limit my RF reception range?

Hello, everyone!

I'm working on a project that requires wireless communication between
two devices but only within a small distance (2-3 feet at most). I
have settled on an using RF (2.4 GHz) to communicate between them, but
need to be able to limit my range.

Would tuning my antenna to a harmonic of 2.4 GHz work? Or would this
result in an unreliable communication link? I know antennas are VERY
complicated, but could I just play with reducing the length of the
antenna?

Any help would be appreciated.


Disconnect the antenna... Otherwise, reduing the transmit power at both ends
seems OK.

Best Regards

Jens
