[Tinyos-help] Micaz antenna extension

[Michael Schippling]

The micaZ's (and other 2420 radio motes) run at approx the same frequency
as 802.11b -- your favorite wireless networking wavelength. So any antenna
that works for wireless will work for 2420's. The connector is an MMCX,
which is _really_ painful to assemble, but it comes standard on some antennas
so if you can find a pre-assembled cable go for it. Note that it is
NOT an MCX even though they look at first glance to be the same...
