that attach to MH4L receptacles. The Open-X 8M Development Kit comes complete with the two
coaxial cables installed.
The antennas connect to the SOM in the following configuration:
o
WLAN/BT ANT 1 on the carrier board connects to ANT1 on the WiFi module
o
WLAN/BT ANT 2 on the carrier board connects to ANT2 on the WiFi module
