| Antenna |
two MMCX antenna connectors for diversity function
Remark: please make sure to install two antenna on these two antenna ports. For single antenna application, one 50 Ohm terminator (or Unex’s ACMCX-1) installation on the other antenna port is required. This is a high-power module, PA will be damaged and cause DC-shorted if leave antenna port open during transmission.
