1.2 Integrated Radio Transceiver
This Mini card module includes an integrated RF transceiver that has been
optimized for use in 2.4-GHz WLAN systems. It has been designed to
provide low-power, low-cost, and robust communications for applications
operating in the globa lly available 2.4-GHz unlicensed ISM band. With
an external transmit power amplifier, it develops full output power per
the IEEE802.11b/g Specification.
1.3 Receiver Path
This Mini card module has a wide dynamic range, direct conversion receiver.
It employs high-order on-chip channel filtering to ensure reliable operation
in the noisy 2.4-GHz ISM band. The excellent noise figure of the receiver
makes an external LNA unnecessary.
1.4 Transmitter Path
This Mini card module includes a linear transmitter capable of delivering up
to +15 dBm while meeting the IEEE802.11g specification. The output power
is adjustable in 1-dB steps, down to 0 dBm. Base-band data is
up-converted directly to the 2.4-GHz ISM band.
1.5 Calibration
This Mini card module enables the device to be used in high-volume
applications because calibration routines are not required during
manufacturing test. These calibration routines are performed periodically
in the course of normal radio operation.

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 interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turnin g the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to corre ct the interference by one of the following measures:
z Reorient or relocate the receiv ing antenna.
z Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
z Connect the equipment in to an outlet on a circuit differen t from that to which the
receiver is connected.
z Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
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.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operatio n 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 and its antenna(s) 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:
OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end product for any additional
compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device
emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
IMPORTANT NOTE
certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC
authorization is no longer considered va lid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final
product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be respon sible for re-evaluating
the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
Without Co-located
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other a ntenna or transmitter.
: I n the event that these conditions can not be met (for example
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to
install or remove this RF module in the user manual of the end product.
The user manual which is provided by OEM integrators for end users must include the following
information in a prominent location.
“To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antenna used for this transmitter
must be installed to 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.
Label for end product must include “ Contains FCC ID:FCC ID: T5U-US105”
