4 Antenna
Interface
The RF interface has an impedance of 50
Ω
. AC75 is capable of sustaining a total mismatch
at the antenna connector without any damage, even when transmitting at maximum RF
power.
The external antenna must be matched properly to achieve best performance regarding
radiated power, DC-power consumption, modulation accuracy and harmonic suppression.
Antenna matching networks are not included on the AC75 PCB and should be placed in the
host application.
Regarding the return loss AC75 provides the following values in the active band:
