The board consumes about 200mA @5V. It intregrates a MIC5219-5 LDO and should be supplied with 5.5-12V DC (7V nom.), either

* by local connection (DC input), or
13
* by 'phantom power' via DC biasing from the RF output.

The RF port can be used with U.FL/IPEX or SMA by moving a coupling capacitor. Bias sourcing is available via SMA.
