3.4 RF Output

Connect either the RFOUTAP or RFOUTAN SMA connector to a signal analyzer. The unused connector must be terminated with a 50-Ω resistor or SMA load. Output frequency is 6 GHz and the amplitude is about +3 dBm.

By default, the TICS Pro evaluation software has RFOUTB power down. These SMA connectors can be left open.
