5.5 Antenna design
As stated earlier, TC35 and TC37 are distinguished by the various options of connecting the
antenna. This chapter provides technical specifications and ordering information for each
solution.
Note: Be sure that all peripherals are applied according to the manufacturer's antenna
specifications. For internal antenna equipment you are advised to use the services
of a consultant or full-service house.
A 27nH inductor to ground provides additional ESD protection for the antenna
connector. To protect the inductor from damage no DC voltage must be applied to
the antenna circuit.
5.5.1 GSC antenna connector on TC35
TC35 uses a GSC connector to establish the RF connection to the host application. Below
please find brief ordering information to help you retrieve further details from the
manufacturer MuRata, e.g. under http://www.murata.com.
