2.5 Performing Conducted Testing

As mentioned in Section 2.1, the BoosterPack™ has an onboard SMA connector and component antenna. The SMA connector (J1) provides a way for testing conducted measurements. Alternately, a footprint for a U.FL connector (J2) is provided on-board to replace the SMA connector and provide a way to test in the lab using a compatible cable.

A rework is needed before using the connector (J1/J2) instead of the Chip Antenna (E1). This involves swapping the position of the existing 10pF capacitor to lead the transmission line on the desired connection (see Figure 2-9).
