Soldering on an external antenna -help with info/pads

  • I have an A95X with a S905X chip in it. I've only used it for wired, but it's now moving to a new location with wifi only. I purchased an external antenna and lead (2.4 only). I'm going to have a friend do the soldering, but need a little help.

    The antenna lead came with an 'end' attached which I will cut off. I understand that I need to strip the wire and I'll end up with a 'core' and the 'outside wires' (obviously I don't know the correct terminology).

    From the picture (which shows the built-in, but pretty lousy signal strength antenna), can anyone tell me which part of the new lead gets soldered where? Does it matter? Under magnification, it *looks* to me like the core goes to the interior of the board and the 'outside wires' go at the bottom.

    Anything I really need to know here? Posts of similar mods have (from my googling) lost all of the associated pictures.

    Thanks all.
