2. Soldering the headers
3. Plugging the board in
Once you have soldered the headers your
board is ready to be placed into the desired
mikroBUS
™
socket. Make sure to align the cut
in the lower-right part of the board with the
markings on the silkscreen at the mikroBUS
™
socket. If all the pins are aligned
correctly, push the board all the
way into the socket.
Turn the board upward again. Make sure
to align the headers so that they are
perpendicular to the board, then solder the
pins carefully.
Turn the board upside down so that
the bottom side is facing you upwards.
Place shorter pins of the header into the
appropriate soldering pads.
Before using your click board
™
, make sure
to solder 1x8 male headers to both left and
right side of the board. Two 1x8 male headers
are included with the board in the package.
4. Essential features
Radio frequency meters are usually used
for testing equipment that includes RF
transmitters or relays. It enables monitoring
and measuring frequency levels to ensure
proper functioning and leak detection. The
AD8318 has a 10 nano second response
time and a high level of logarithmic intercept
stability at various temperature conditions.
The chip integrates a temperature sensor
whose output is available through the TEMP
OUT pin, which can be used for additional
system monitoring.

RF Meter click is a radio frequency power
measurement device covering a frequency
span from 1 MHz to 8 GHz over a 60 dB
range (approximately). An external antenna
acquires the signal, which is then processed
by the AD8318 logarithmic detector. The
resulting voltage is fed into an MCP3201
ADC. For communicating with the target
board MCU, the mikroBUS™ SPI interface is
used (CS, SCK, MISO pins), with additional
TEMP OUT pin.
