Two system antennas are required (one for WLAN and one for Bluetooth) with 30 dB  or  better  isolation  between  antennas (orthogonal  oriented  antennas  with more  than 50…60 mm. distance between). May be recommended for higher performance of AP. WiBear11n-DF1  Dual band WLAN (802.11 a/b/g/n, 2.5 and 5 GHz) and Bluetooth module with one joint antenna connector for WLAN and Bluetooth. Similar to WiBear11n-SF1. WiBear11n-DF2  Dual  band  WLAN  (802.11  a/b/g/n,  2.5  and  5  GHz)  and  Bluetooth  module  which  has separated antenna connectors for WLAN and Bluetooth. Similar to WiBear11n-SF2.  Note: For maximum throughput during simultaneous WLAN (AP) and Bluetooth operation, the Bluetooth Coexistence Arbiter (BCA) settings should be optimized by the host system software.

 WiBear11n Data SheetVersion 1.18   Copyright © 2013 lesswire AG   www.lesswire.com  Page 12 of 20  Host Interfaces   SDIO Interface  WiBear11n module supports a SDIO device interface that conforms to the industry standard SDIO Full-Speed specification  and  allows  a  host  controller  using  the  SDIO  bus  protocol  to  access  the  WLAN  and  Bluetooth functions. The module also supports High Speed mode as defined in the SDIO 1.2 specification.  The module's SDIO host interface pins are powered from the VIO voltage supply.  A module acts as the device on the SDIO bus. The SDIO interface supports SDIO modes at the full clock range of 0 to 50 MHz which allows a maximum throughput of 200Mbps.

 WiBear11n Data SheetVersion 1.18   Copyright © 2013 lesswire AG   www.lesswire.com  Page 16 of 20  Mounting process  The WiBear11n  is a surface mount module supplied  on  a  6-layer  FR4-type  PCB  with gold  plated connection pads and produced in a lead-free process with a lead-free soldering paste. The warpage of the PCB  is max. 0,75% according to IPC-A-610E. The thickness of solder resist on the host PCB top side and the WiBear11n bottom side must be considered for the soldering process.  Modules  rated  at moisture  sensitivity  level  3.  See  moisture sensitive  warning  label  on  each  shipping  bag  for detailed  information.  After  opening  the  dry  pack,  modules  must  be  mounted  within  168  hours  in  factory conditions  of  maximum  30°C/60%RH  or  must  be  stored  at  less  than  10%RH.  Modules  require  baking  if  the humidity indicator card shows more than 10% when read at 23±5°C or if the conditions mentioned above are not met. Please refer to J-STD-033B standard for bake procedure.  Module  is  compatible  with  industrial  reflow  profile  for  RoHS/Pb-free  solders,  Sn96.5/Ag3.0/Cu0.5  solder  is  a right choice. Use of "No Clean" soldering paste is strongly recommended, cleaning the  populated modules is strongly  discouraged  -  residuals  under  the  module  cannot  be  easily  removed  with  any  cleaning  process. Cleaning with water can lead to capillary effects where water is absorbed into the gap between the host board and  module.  The combination of soldering  flux  residuals and  encapsulated  water  could  lead  to  short  circuits between neighboring pads.  Only a single reflow soldering process is permitted for host boards with WiBear11n modules.  The reflow profile used is dependent on the thermal mass of the entire populated PCB, heat transfer efficiency of the oven and particular type of solder paste used. Since the profile used is process and layout dependent, the optimum  profile should be  studied  case  by case. Recommendations  below  should be taken as  a starting point guide. In case of basic information necessity please refer to J-STD-020C standard.

 WiBear11n Data SheetVersion 1.18   Copyright © 2013 lesswire AG   www.lesswire.com  Page 17 of 20  Installation and Regulatory Information General The  purpose  of  this  guide  is  to  explain  how  to  integrate  the  WiBear11n  module  into  the  end  product.  The module  has  to  be  installed  and  used  in  accordance  with  the  technical  instructions  provided  by  the manufacturer. The module may only be  implemented  in  the configuration  that  was authorized. Note that any modifications of this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. European Union Regulatory Compliance The WiBear11n module has been tested and complies with the regulatory standards EN 300 328 and EN 301 489-1/-17.  We  declare  that  the  human  exposure  of  this  module  is  below  the  SAR  limits  specified  in  the  EU recommendations 1999/519/EC.  IMPORTANT: The ‘CE’ marking must be affixed to a visible location on the OEM product, where this module is installed in, and has to be labeled in accordance to R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC. FCC Compliance This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules1. 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.  Not authorized modification could void authority to use this equipment.  The  internal / external antenna(s) used  for  this module must  provide a separation  distance  of at  least 20  cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.  NOTE: The outside of final product that contain a WiBear11n module must display in a user accessible area a label  referring  to  the  enclosed  module.  This  exterior  label  can  use  wording  such  as  the  following:  “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: PV7-WIBEAR11N-SF1”2 or “Contains FCC ID: PV7-WIBEAR11N-SF1”.  IMPORTANT: The approval type for the WiBear11n variants is a limited modular approval due to the absence of a shielding. This requires any manufacturer of original equipment containing the WiBear11n module to ask for an approval of their design by the manufacturer of the WiBear11n module. IC Compliance This  device  complies  with  Industry  Canada  RSS-210  (Rev.  8).  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.
