This basically has the RS9110-N-11-03 IEEE 802.11abgn WLAN module mounted on it along with few other supporting components such as 40 MHz reference oscillator and other passives. The RS9110-N-11-03 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-11-03 evaluation board facilitates you in carrying out following tests. Evaluation of the Transmit and Receive performance of the radio Evaluation of the end–to-end throughput performance The following picture illustrates various connectors on the RS9110-N-11-03 evaluation board Figure 1: RS9110-N-11-03 Evaluation Board and Connectors

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 JTAG Connector is also provided to debug process flow control of the evaluation board. 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. Figure 2: RF Cable Connected to the RS9110-N-11-03 Evaluation Board : Wi-Fi Data Transfer Tests The evaluation kit allows you to carry out WLAN data transfer tests, where in RS9110-N-11-03 EVB can be connected to any 802.11abgn 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 W L AN driver is provided along with the evaluation kit. .1: Test Setup If you want to evaluate the system, you need to have the 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.
