Introduction
The AMN35254 / AMN36254 are respectively wireless A/V transmitter /receiver boards, which works at the
5GHz unlicensed band.
They are based on AMIMON's WHDI Professional chipset that consist of the AMN2220_A4W / AMN2120_A4W
baseband receiver/transmitter and the MAXIM 2851/2850 ICs, presents the ultimate solution for HD-SDI system
into a wireless one. The perfect HD/SD video, audio quality, the high robustness and the invisible latency of the
wireless system are unmatched by any other wireless technology and presents a true alternative to cable. The
WHDI system transmits uncompressed video and audio streams wirelessly and thus simplifies and eliminates
system issues, such as: lip-sync, large buffers and other burdens like retransmissions or error propagation.

Overview
2.1 AMN35254 WHDI Source (TX):
The AMN35254 WHDI Source is designed to modulate and transmit downstream video and audio
content over the wireless medium and receive a control channel over the wireless upstream. The
modulation uses a 40 MHz bandwidth and is carried over the 5GHz unlicensed band. Fig 2 shows a
block diagram of the AMN35254. The HD-SDI input is connected to the Gennum SDI 2971A which
converts the SDI signal to A/V digital bus that is connected to the AMN2120 baseband transmitter.
It has a MIMO design of four wireless output channels and one input channel. The internal
microcontroller (STM32103) is responsible for control and management.
The ST STM32F103 application microcontroller controls the SDI chip and the baseband AMN2120
chip using SPI standard bus. The application microcontroller provides USB device interface through
a mini USB connector.

2.1.8 Knob - Frequency selection commands
The user will be able to select between fixed, non-DFS, frequencies, and automatic mode that will
include all frequencies as specified in the table below. Using knob the user will determine on which
fixed frequency system will work 1-4, or alternatively system in automatic mode – 5-9, system will
hop between different available frequencies. (DFS channels cannot be used as fixed frequencies
since system must hop automatically if radar is detected).
