nrf24l01 module location on pcb.

[Fabio Fernandes]

I am using NRF24L01 modules sold on ebay. I have 3 boards where these modules are soldiers and notice a big difference in range. More distant of other components, better range. What is the safe distance to other components of the pcb? Thanks

Do you have a link to the modules you are using and a more detailed description of what distances you are referring to? If you cover the antenna with metal, you will of course see changes in performance. We need more details on what it looks like and how you have placed the modules to give you a more accurate answer. What range are you seeing from the different modules?
