The default antenna in GSM transceiver is helix with turnable joint and in
PCN a whip antenna with turnable joint also. The location of the antenna
is in the gk2 module. The antenna signal is lead through the turnable
hinge separating the gk2 and CMTmain modules using 50W flexible
coaxial cable. The feedpoint of the antenna is matched to the 50W cable
using LC matching transformer. There is a SMD coaxial connector on the
CMT board for the cable.
