A ferrite antenna is connected between IN and VCC. For high sensitivity, the Q factor of the antenna circuit should be as high as possible. Please note that a high Q factor requires temperature pensation of the resonant frequency in most cases. Specifications are valid for Q>30. An optimal signal-to-noise ratio will be achieved by a resonant resistance of 50 to 200 k W.
A resistor RSB is connected between SB and GND. It controls the bandwidth of the crystal filters....
