Title: XBEE 3 pad antenna question
Post by: jealcuna on June 17, 2021, 04:17:26 am

I am in a new design for xbee 3 micro version. They are 3 sub-version that basically change the antenna output, these are smd antenna, ufl connector, and pad antenna. In order to make more flexible with the volatility market i want to make a pcb that support these 3 sub versions. for pad antenna I will add a sma connector, but a question arise me. Is there a problem if I leave the trace for sma connector and then use the sub version with ufl or smd antenna?

I am not sure if xbee3 already disable the pad antenna output in ufl or smd antenna sub versions.
