Antenna Description and Troubleshooting
RF connector failure
The RF connector fails when it does not properly connect RF input terminal to RF output terminal during
SMT. If this happens the antenna gain degrades by 25 dB. Check this failure by measuring the
resistance value between the input and output of RF connector, if the value is close to zero, replace the
RF connector.
Note: Do not insert RF cable to RF connector when testing the resistance value. Because the RF
connector is also a switch, when RF cable is inserted, RF output is disconnected from RF input.
