Airborne Enterprise Module Databook 6.1 Quatech, Inc. AC Electrical Characteristics – Transmitter Transmit power is automatically managed by the device for minimum power consumption. The MAXIMUM transmit power at the RF connector is typically +15dBm 2 dB for B-Mode (all rates) and +12dBm+/-2dB for G-Mode (all rates). 6.2 Performance/Range The following table illustrates the typical data rates, performance and range the device is capable of providing using an omni directional antenna.
Airborne Enterprise Module Databook Quatech, Inc. 7.0 SPI Interface The following section details the SPI interface specification for both hardware timing and SPI protocol. The device is a SPI slave and requires a compatible SPI master for operation. 7.1 Pinout When the SPI interface is enabled, through the CLI or web interface, the following pins are assigned for communication.

Airborne Enterprise Module Databook Quatech, Inc. the Airborne Device Server module by the host at the same time the Rx message header is sent to the host from the Airborne Device Server. The Tx message header consists of a Command (CMD) byte, followed by three Parameter (PARM) bytes. They are described in the SPI Commands section (7.4) below. The Rx message header consists of a Rx Data Available field, and a Tx Buffer Available field.
Airborne Enterprise Module Databook Quatech, Inc. Command (Hex) Name Description 0x10 INTENA The INTENA command will enable interrupts from the module. For this command, the PARM1 field will define the interrupts to be enabled. The definition of the PARM1 field is as follows: 0x20 INTDIS B7 Interrupt Sense – Determines the asserted state of the interrupt pin. If this bit is set, the interrupt pin will be active high, otherwise the interrupt pin will be active low.
Airborne Enterprise Module Databook Quatech, Inc. 8.0 Antenna The unit supports antenna connection through a single Hirose U.FL connector, located on the top surface of the radio next to the RF shielding. Any antenna used with the system must be designed for operation within the 2.4GHz ISM band and specifically must support the 2.412GHz to 2.482GHz for 802.11b/g operation. They are required to have a VSWR of 2:1 maximum referenced to a 50 system impedance. 8.
Airborne Enterprise Module Databook Quatech, Inc. with FCC regulations, these state a non-standard connector is required e.g. TNC/SMA are not allowed, RP-TNC/RP-SMA are allowed. 8.3 Host Chassis Mounted Antenna Host Chassis mounted antennas require no work on the host PCB. They utilize an antenna type called ‘flying lead’. There are two types of flying leads; one which provides a bulkhead mounted antenna connector and one which provides a bulk head mounted antenna.
Airborne Enterprise Module Databook Quatech, Inc. PCB Embedded – This approach embeds an antenna design into the host PCB. This approach is very common with add-in WiFi card (CF, PCMCIA, SDIO, etc.) as it requires no external connections and is the cheapest production approach. The lower production cost requires significant development cost and lack of performance and flexibility.
Airborne Enterprise Module Databook Quatech, Inc. Locate the antenna where there is a minimum of obstruction between the antenna and the location of the Access Points. Typically Access Points are located in the ceiling or high on walls. Keep the main antenna’s polarization vertical, or in-line with the antenna of the Access Points. 802.11 systems utilize vertical polarization and aligning both transmit and receive antenna maximizes the link quality.
Airborne Enterprise Module Databook Quatech, Inc. Link Margin provides a measure of all the parts of the RF path that impact the ability of two systems to communicate.
Airborne Enterprise Module Databook 9.0 Quatech, Inc. RESET Function For correct operation of the on-board Power-on RESET (POR) and internal RESET controllers, the RESET pin on the WLNG-XX-DP500 family must obey the following timing and signal conditions.
