3.3 Antenna Antenna input MCX interface of UB4B0M provides an antenna feed of 4.6±0.2 V. Do not connect the antenna to the port of antenna in the module, and use a multimeter to test, that is, the voltage supply is DC4.8 V ~ 5.4 V when there is no-load. When the RF port of the module is connected to the antenna, the working current is 30~100 mA at normal temperature, and the antenna feed of DC4.6 V±0.2 V can be supplied to the outside. -
