What are the round pads on the bottom of a PCB?

There are several round pads on the PCB prototypes made by the manufacturer. They are marked Scx and labelled with TP. What are they?

These test pads and the test points are probably used in different parts of the manufacturing process. Bijvoorbeeld,

  • The test points may be used for board-level testing and the test pads may be used for system-level testing. These are test pads designed for use with a pogo-pin test fixture, also known as a bed-of-nails test fixture. These fixtures have a specially shaped array of pogo-pins that press down and make contact with the test pads on the board under test.
  • Of, perhaps, the test pads are used for programming and/or debugging firmware, when the device under test is clamped into the bed-of-nails fixture.

How do I use two antennas with a single Bluetooth module? (BLE repeater)

I am working on a project that uses small Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacons to track important items. Is there a way to connect two antennas to a single BLE module that could either listen/broadcast on both antennas or multiplex between the two? Or any other idea?

Why does my RF PCB have small holes in the ground polygon?

I ordered RF PCB design and prototype from my supplier . There are something like a hole, but it is not, on the ground surface. What is the purpose of making these holes? The PCB is inside of the E70 433NW14S LoRa module.
