2.4.2
Bluetooth antenna RF interface (ANT_BT)
☞
The Bluetooth functionality is not available in SARA-N2 series modules.
☞
The Bluetooth functionality is not supported by "00" product version of SARA-N3 series modules.
The
ANT_BT
pin can be left unconnected or it can also be connected to GND.
2.4.3
Antenna detection interface (ANT_DET)
☞
The antenna detection interface is not supported by "02" product version of SARA-N2 series
modules.
2.4.3.1
Guidelines for ANT_DET circuit design
describe the recommended schematic and components for the antenna
detection circuit to be provided on the application board for the diagnostic circuit that must be
provided on the antenna assembly to achieve antenna detection functionality.
