8.2. Connecting the antenna conductor
To connect the antenna conductor, two connection pads are provided on both ends of the board.
Contact can be made using a solder or screw connection. The two resistors R1 and R2 (see
Fig. 9:
Board layout
) should be thermally joined to the antenna conductor for heat dissipation (by means
of a screw connection, for example).
For the antenna conductor we recommend copper tubing, strip aluminum or the shielding of a
coaxial cable, e.g. RG213, RG214 or RG58.
The inductance of the antenna conductor must lie within the range indicated in the technical data
(0.6 – 2.5
µ
H).
8.3. Connecting the antenna cable
The antenna cable is soldered on to the board at X5 Pin 102. We recommend a coaxial cable with
an impedance of 50
Ω
(e.g. RG58) and a cable length of
4
λ
(approx. 3.62 m for RG58). A cable
gland is used as strain relief.
