Chapter 5: Approved Antennas for the Modular LE
The Modular LE can be operated with an external antenna. The required antenna impedance is 50Ω. The
host device will determine what type of antenna connector is available. The module was tested with the
Itron host board which contains an external uFL antenna connector as shown in Figure 10.
