4.1.3 Antenna
Using the adapter board along with Thyone-I module, the option to switch between internal and
external antenna connection is available. The
ANT
pin (No.1, Ext_ANT in the schematic) of
the adapter board is used for an external antenna connection matched to 50
Ω
.
The
ANT-CTRL
pin (No.22) is used to switch between Thyone-I on-board PCB antenna and
the external antenna pin
Ext_ANT
of the adapter board.
The
ANT-CTRL
pin (No.22) has an internal pull-down resistor and selects in-
ternal PCB antenna by default. An external pull-up resistor on this pin shall be
avoided.
By applying a high logic level to the
ANT-CTRL
pin, the
ANT
Pin of the adapter board can
be used for external antenna connection. If
Pin 22
is left open or a low level is applied, the
Thyone-I on-board PCB antenna is used.
4.1.4 Trace design
Thyone-I Module itself complies with FCC and IC certification. For evaluation purpose, the
adapter board uses an IC to switch between the on-board PCB-antenna of the Thyone-I mod-
ule and the external RF PAD connection. Due to which the adapter board differs from the trace
design and is not approved to be FCC and IC compliant.
