1: Introduction
The RS9110-N-11-02 evaluation board provides a complete IEEE 802.11bgn
Wireless LAN evaluation platform. This basically has the RS9110-N-02
802.11bgn WLAN module mounted on it along with few other supporting
components such as 40 Mhz reference oscillator and few other passives. The
RS9110-N-11-02 is a high-performance, low-power WLAN module.
The board connects to a host processor through SDIO or SPI interfaces. It
also provides the connectivity for the WLAN module to the Vector Signal
Generator (VSG) and Vector Signal Analyzer (VSA) through a microwave
coaxial connector switch.
The RS9110-N-11-02 evaluation board facilitates you in carrying out following
tests.
•
Evaluation of the end–to-end throughput performance.
•
Evaluation of the Transmit and Receive performance of the radio.
Figure 1 shows the block diagram of this evaluation board.

A probe point (Jumper PB9) is provided in order to measure the total power
consumed by the RS9110-N-11-02 WLAN Module during transmit, receive,
and standby modes.
On board resistors are provided for the Mode Select, which helps the user to
switch from the SDIO host interface to SPI host interface.
A SMD-based Microwave switch connector is provided to detach the onboard
antenna, and attach external RF input/output of any signal generator/signal
analyzer through a Microwave Cable Adapter (Murata Part
Number::MXHS83QH3000).
The following diagram illustrates how the user can connect an adapter with
Microwave coaxial cable to the switch connector.

2: Wi-Fi Data Transfer Tests
The evaluation kit allows you to carry out WLAN data transfer tests, where in
RS9110-N-11-02 EVB can be connected to any 802.11bgn Access Points and
user can run any network applications to verify the WLAN connection. You can
also evaluate the application level throughputs using this EVB.
In order to perform these tests, a Windows XP, or Linux, or Window CE based
WLAN driver is provided along with the evaluation kit.
2.1: Test Setup
If you want to evaluate the system, you need to have following test setup.
The EVB is inserted into the Laptop that has SDIO slot, and it is wirelessly
connected to an 802.11n Access Point. Data transfer tests can be performed
using any other systems in the LAN, which is connected to AP. The test setup
is shown in the figure below. The sub-net mask of the wireless interface on
the Laptop and AP should be same as that of the LAN, for which AP is
connected via Ethernet.
Please note that, in order to evaluate the Lite-Fi™ on a Windows CE or a
Windows Mobile platform, you need to replace the Laptop in the following
setup, with any of the Windows CE or Windows Mobile based SDIO platform.

4: Regulatory Information
4.1: Portability Of Module
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
this equipment
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This transmitter must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following
conditions.
1) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter
or antenna
As long as condition above is met, further transmitter test will not be
required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end
product for any addition compliance requirements required with this module

installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements,
etc.).
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can’t be met (for
example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another
transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the
FCC ID can’t be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM
integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the
transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
FCC15.19
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device complies with RSS 210 of Industry Canada.
"Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device."
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
4.2: Federal Communication Commission Interference
Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interface to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the
following measures:
•
•
•
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technical for help.
