WFS001 User’s Manual Introduction
Overview
WFS001PCIModuleisdesignedtoprovidewirelesscommunicationforallwirelessdevicebasedsystems.It
communicatesviathestandard802.11b/gprotocolsbutwithtransmissionfrequencyshiftedto900MHz
(902‐928MHz).TheWFS001usestheAR5414wirelesschipsetfromAtheros.Thismoduleisconnectedtothe
PCIbusthroughaPCIconnectorandspecialcircuitrytoallowforcompatibilitywitheither3.3Vor5VPCI
signaling..
Features
 All‐CMOSsinglechipforIEEE802.11b/gcompatibleWLANsin900MHz
 Basebandin‐phase(I)andquadrature(Q)signals,convertsthemtothedesiredfrequency,anddrivesthe
RFsignaloff‐chip.
 Integratedlow‐noiseamplifier(LNA)
 ExternalPAand/orLNAcanbeusedforspecialapplications
