9Chapter 1:About the ModuleThe Digi Connect Wi-Wave module is an 802.11b/g WLAN communications module for use in embedded applications. The module is a single circuit card packaged in a PCI Express Mini Card form factor, and supports all the RF, analog, and digital circuitry necessary to implement WLAN functionality. Using Digi’s baseband processor technology, this module is the ideal choice for embedded applications requiring long-term product availability in conjunction with reliability and easy design integration.The primary interface to the module is through a standards-compliant PCI Express Mini Card edge connector, using a USB 2.0 full speed/high speed link for communication with the host system. Note:The Connect Wi-Wave edge connector pinout is compliant with the PCI Express Mini Card Electromechanical Specification, Revision 1.1 (March 28, 2005) with this exception: the Connect Wi-Wave has a 4-wire JTAG programming interface mapped to pins 45, 47, 49, and 51.The Connect Wi-Wave module also provides a dual diversity antenna option through two on-board U.FL connectors, which allow for cabling to remote 2.4 GHz antennas.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .FeaturesUltra-compact and standards-based form factorEasy design integration through USB 2.0 full speed/high speed interfaceDual diversity antenna option through two on-module U.FL antenna connectorsDigi 802.11b/g baseband processor technology for long-term product availability-30°C to +70°C operating temperature for harsh environmentsRoHS compliant design

When the +3.3V regulated supply voltage drops below 2.93V, the reset signal — RESET# — is asserted for a minimum of 140 msec. This signal is connected to the Connect Wi-Wave edge connector (pin 22), as well as to the signal breakout header for monitoring.Alternative methods to trigger RESET#In addition to supply voltage monitoring, reset logic can be triggered in two other ways. The RESET# logic is asserted when you do one of these actions:Manually push SW1, a pushbutton reset switch on the development boardPull low pin 15 on the JTAG breakout header, P200 Reset switch, S1JTAG switch, S3Reset trigger breakout pin, pin 15

27Using the AntennaThe Digi Connect Wi-Wave development board supports three types of antennas: 29000095 ANT, WHIP 2.4-2.5 GHz Dipole (2.0000)29000146 ANT, WHIP 2.4 GHz Dipole 5 dBi (2.0000)Attach the U.FL-to-U.FL cables, provided in the development kit, to both the module and the development board. There are two cables included; whether you use one cable or both depends on how you set up your antenna(s).Be sure that the antenna you use complies with the regulatory requirements of your region. In North America, for example, you can operate only with antennas approved by Digi International, Inc., or antennas matching the specifications of Digi-approved antennas.Necessary Conditions for IntegrationThe following conditions are necessary for integration:The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users for all installations.The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.The Module is approved using the FCC “unlicensed modular transmitter approval” method; therefore, the module must be used with the originally- approved antennas only.  As long as you meet these three conditions, further transmitter testing will not be required.  However, you are still responsible for testing your end-product for any additional compliance requirements associated with this module installation (e.g., digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.). Note: In the event that any of these conditions cannot be met  (for example  portable configurations, co-location with another transmitter, or use of a different antenna), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid, and you are unable to use the FCC ID on the final product.  In these circumstances, you will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
USING THE ANTENNA28 Connect Wi-Wave Hardware Reference, Rev B  9/2007Connect Wi-Wave antenna configurationsThe Connect Wi-Wave can transmit data or receive data, but not at the same time. Software controls the transmit/receive functionality as well as the antenna switch. You have the option of using two antennas (required for diversity receive) or one antenna to transmit and receive data. Using two antennas: The Connect Wi-Wave transmits on one antenna and receives on the other antenna (at separate times) without changing the antenna switch. Use both cables.Using one antenna: The Connect Wi-Wave transmits on one antenna, software toggles the antenna switch, then the Connect Wi-Wave receives on the same antenna. Use only one cable, which can be connected to either U.FL connector on the module and on the development board.U.FL cable and RP-SMA connectionUse these connection steps with the RP-SMA antennas: 29000095 — 2.4-2.5 GHz Dipole and 29000146 — 2.4 GHz Dipole 5.5 dBi:1Attach one end of the cable(s) to the U.FL connector(s) (P1, P2) on the Connect Wi-Wave module.2Attach the other end of the cable(s) to the U.FL connector(s) (P11, P12) on the development board.3Attach the RP-SMA antenna to the appropriate RP-SMA connector (J11, J12) on the development board. If you are using only one cable/connection, be sure you attach the RP-SMA antenna to the correct connector:–If the cable is connected to U.FL connector P11, or WiFi antenna 1, attach the RP-SMA antenna to J11.–If the cable is connected to U.FL connector P12, or WiFi antenna 2, attach the RP-SMA antenna to J12.

An antenna switch is required to isolate the transmit signal from the receive signal. The antenna switch works by alternately connecting the antennas to either the transceiver PA transmit output or the transceiver receive input. To support this antenna sharing scheme, the module operates in half-duplex mode; receive and transmit operations do not occur at the same time.Antenna switch The antenna switch is a digitally controlled 2.4 GHz, 50 ohm, multi-function solid state switch, controlled by software.The receive port can be switched between antenna 1 or antenna 2. The transmit port can be switched between antenna 1 or antenna 2. The switch can handle >28dBm of signal on the transmit port. The insertion loss of the antenna switch is <0.5dB and the receive to transmit port isolation is >23dB.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Antenna specifications: 2 dBi DipoleAttributesDimensionsNote:Dimensions are provided for reference purposes only.
