Bluetooth Antenna Interface - SIM Tech SIMCom SIM800H Hardware Design

R101， C101， C102 are the matching circuit, the value should be defined by the antenna design. Normally R101 is
0Ω, C101 and C102 are not mounted. The RF connector is used for conduction test. If the space between RF pin
and antenna is not enough, the matching circuit should be designed as in the following figure:

Normally R101 is 0Ω, C101 and C102 are not mounted.
D101 in Figure 46 and Figure 47 is used for ESD to protect antenna. In order to avoid damaging the module,
TVS can be used. The TVS suggested can refer to Table 35.

4.19.2. Bluetooth Antenna Interface

The SIM800H module provides a Bluetooth antenna pad named BT_ANT.
The external antenna must be matched properly to achieve best performance, so the matching circuit is necessary,
the connection is recommended as in the following figure:
