- An XBee radio module needs an antenna to be able to transmit and receive data. Depending on the type of XBee in use, the antenna may be one that is built into the radio or instead, the radio may have an antenna connector so that it may be connected to an external antenna. The examples below show the 1" whip antenna, the on-chip antenna and the XBee with an RPSMA connector, or shortened to the "sma" version of the XBee for connecting to standard Wi-Fi antennas. Not shown is the Xbee radio with the U.FL. connector which is a very tiny, snap-on connector on the top of the XBee module for connecting a short U.FL. cable that has an RPSMA connector on the other end.
