Abstract
A novel and improved antenna adapter for interfacing a portable radiotelephone 200 with test equipment is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the adapter assembly comprises an RF connector 104 at one end of an elongated conductor 102 which connects directly to the radiotelephone's 200 antenna port, replacing the normal antenna assembly. The elongated conductor 102 makes electrical contact with an external ground 204 of the battery charging ports at the bottom of the radiotelephone 200 at another end. The RF connector 104 may be impedance-matched to minimize RF signal attenuation when connected to the RF test equipment. In an exemplary embodiment, the RF connector 104 comprises a 50.OMEGA. impedance-matched SMA connector.
