In the study, a television chassis is being used for two differentmodels having different Wi-Fi modules in them. From manufacturing perspective,managing the product configuration as simple as it can improve themanufacturing costs drastically. Two Wi-Fi modules having different antennacharacteristics will perform differently based on their locations on thechassis. Based on the distance of the antenna to the closest material of thechassis effects antenna characteristics of both Wi-Fi modules. We obtained acommon minimum distance that does not disrupts the antenna performance of bothWi-Fi modules to out of Wi-Fi spectrum. For the particular case in this study,we obtained a safe distance which keeps the voltage standing wave ratio of theantennas of both Wi-Fi modules under two over Wi-Fi frequency spectrum.
