Antenna
The antenna connectors are the Huber Suhner 82MMCX -
S50 - 2/111KE. The adapter recommended for SMA
connector is the Huber Suhner 33MMCX - SMA - 50 -1.
Antenna select should be programmed by programming the
HFA3860B (bits 0 through 3 in Configuration Register 5).
See the Radio Card Outline for antenna jack locations.
General Notes
1. This card has been tested and adjusted for operation in
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum. Operation frequency
is in the 2.4GHz band.
2. Power spectrum output was checked for CH1, CH6 and
CH11.
3. The power output was calibrated to +15dBm and link test
was conducted. The operation range is estimated to be
150 ft. for indoor use.
4.
Always have a 50
load installed in the antenna con-
nectors. If the connector is left open it could cause
permanent damage to the power amplifier.
5. The baseband processor MCLK and the synthesizer are
driven by a 44MHz oscillator. Please use this frequency
when programming either device.
6. IfthiscardisinsertedinaPCMCIAslotbyaccidentitwillnot
enable card detect, therefore no damage to card will occur.
