Hello,
I'm working in a RF link (at 433MHz) between two cc1000 but I can only receive valid data if the nodes are not more than a few centimeters away from each other. Sometimes I can't even receive correct packets although they are very close. I've read that cc1000 is very prone to noise. I'm transmitting with maximum output power of 10dBm.
I'm going to build a new PCB and I'm considering changing the antenna. Tha oneI'm using right now is a multilayer ceramic antenna with linear polarization:

Is there any recommended antenna for this transceiver which could allow a larger distance separation?
Thank you.
