N connectors, reverse polarity N connectors, SMA, etc. are all 50 ohm impedance, so you should be able to use the same decoupler design. The decoupler matches the impedance of the antenna to the impedance of the line. From the looks of that design the SMA was chosen due to its size. You know, you can have the SMA on the antenna end, and have the RP-N on the AP end.

Keep reading! You'll figure this stuff out in a while. You may also figure out that it is just easier to order an antenna from a manufacturer. ;-)

Cheers,
