3.1 External Antenna

The RF path of the LP-EM-CC2745R10-Q1 by default uses the Inverted F antenna printed on the PCB. The SMA connector near the PCB antenna can be used instead, which is useful for tests using an external antenna or for RF-conducted measurements.

To do that, the capacitor CA2 (as shown in Figure 3-1 has to reroute the RF path from the antenna to the SMA: desolder CA2 from the original vertical position (as shown in the picture below) and resolder CA2 horizontally to connect to the pad near the SMA.
