Pin Function Description
Interface Schematic
1
RX OUT Output pin for Receive mode. VSWR is 1.1:1 when Receive mode is
selected and highly capacitive when Transmit mode is selected.
2
GND
Ground connection. For best performance, keep traces physically short
and connect immediately to the ground plane.
3
TX IN
Input pin for Transmit mode. The input VSWR is 1.1:1 when Transmit
mode is selected and highly capacitive when Receive mode is
selected.
4
TX/RX
Transmit Mode/Receive Mode control pin. A “low” level chooses
Receive mode; a “high” level chooses Transmit mode. CMOS logic may
be used to drive the control input.
5
ANT I/O Input/Output pin from/to antenna and power supply pin. This pin must
be biased with VDD through a resistor.
