This RF adapter bit is great for anyone doing RF work. Depending on the dev-board and antenna you have, you may be faced with either RP-SMA or SMA connectors. Unfortunately they are not compatible! This adapter solves the problem with an SMA jack on one end and an RP-SMA Plug on the other. We also have the opposite 'flavor' available
Check your cable, connector and antenna to verify whether you need this adapter, or the other flavor. In specific, look for the center contact, is it an 'innie' or an 'outie'? This adapter is likely best used for connecting an SMA antenna to a board with an RP-SMA connector
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- RF
- RF means radio frequency, referring to signals used for wireless communication and other high-frequency electronics. A low-noise, stable power supply is important for RF circuits because power noise can affect signal quality and measurements.
- SMA
- A threaded coaxial connector commonly used for antennas. It matters because you need antennas with matching SMA connectors, or suitable adapters, for the LTE and GNSS antenna ports.
