4.2 RF Connections
4.2.1 AP Connection Testing
By default, the board ships with the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz RF signals routed to the onboard chip antenna,
as shown in Figure 25.

A U.FL connector J17 provides a way to test in the lab using a compatible cable. Alternatively, trackpads
for an SMA connector J15 are provided onboard to replace the J17 U.FL connector for testing conducted
measurements. A rework must be performed before these connectors can be used; this involves swapping
the position of a resistor. Figure 26 shows the modified board.
