Performance
-
Best results are always achieved using a cradle designed specifically for your iPhone 7.
-
We strongly recommend using the iPhone Cradle, universal cradles can be used, however a fitted cradle will produce the best results.
-
For improved mobile phone service, this patch lead should be placed on the back of the phone, vertically on the left hand side (when screen faced up).
Additional
-
To provide you with the best performing passive antenna connection, we ran a series of mini-patch antennas through a number of tests and determined the Taoglas Phoenix antenna as the hands-down winner
-
As with all passive antennas, the patch must be aligned with the phones internal antenna which requires trialling a number of different positions
-
On most handsets we find placing the patch horizontally, either up the top or the bottom against the back.
What does a passive patch lead do?
-
Despite not having an external antenna port, this phone may benefit from an external antenna by using a passive patch lead at reduced performance
-
This type of patch lead has a pad containing a specially designed coil of wire and uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to enable signal to re-radiate from the pad to the phones internal antenna
-
Typically, users' experience anywhere from 5-10dB of signal loss depending on the design of the mobile phone, and the placement of the passive pad
-
To function effectively the pad must be placed directly on top of the phone's internal antenna
-
An external antenna is used to increase signal strength and quality - this results in faster mobile internet access, increased usable range from a cell tower, improved voice quality and reduced call drop-outs.
A heads up!
-
Passive patch leads use a generic design - they consist of a coil of wire that acts as a small antenna - this same design is used for all phone brands
-
By their very nature, passive patch leads will never work as well as a direct connecting patch lead (i.e. one that has a metal-on-metal transfer of signal)
-
In comparison, a fitted phone cradle has a much larger metal coil that is specifically designed to match the phones internal antenna, providing far better performance
-
We offer this product as a cheaper alternative, but have had mixed results with its success
-
For the best results we highly recommend the purchase of a cradle designed specifically for your phone.
