RF energy at microwave frequencies is present with this equipment. Personnel should not be exposed to high RF energies, and should not be in front of the antenna when the equipment is switched on. All accessible RF connections must be terminated when the radio is powered on. The radio should not be powered on with any of its covers removed. INFORMATION TO USERS.
"Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment."
ANTENNA WARNING EACH INDIVIDUAL ANTENNA USED FOR THIS TRASNMITTER MUST BE IN-
STALLED TO PROVIDE A MINIMUM SEPARATION DISTANCE OF 20 CM OR MORE FROM ALL PERSONS AND MUST NOT BE CO-LOCATED WITH ANY OTHER ANTENNA FOR MEETING RF EXPOSURE REQUIREMENTS. 2001 GRE America, Inc.

All violators shall be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. 10/2001 rev.4 1-1 GINA 2011 RF Module Voltage Requirement GINA 2011 RF Module Voltage Requirement The GINA 2011 RF Module requirs a device controller to set Local oscillator, Set BASEBAND pro-
cessor for actual operating condition. It also requires proper I/O DC level because semiconductor is very thigh margin for I/O level. The RF Module requires 3.3V and 6 Volt DC. Module has internal regulator to support 3.0V and 2.8 Volt. The device controller must be designed with 3 Volt working Voltage for I/O to RF Module. However it is not suitable if apply beyond 3.5V DC because majority of semiconductor Chip I/O level will be cross to Maximum specification point. The 5 volt line is used for Transmitter final amplifier chip. The module 2011 has Current source volt-
age control MOS FET device to protect final amplifier chip. The final transmitter device is not liner output power verses voltage source. More likely the transmitter out is liner out with negative bias to GATE of Final amplifier. Nature of this performance comes from GaAs HFET parameter. This negative bias to the GATE is regulated from 3.3volt line, so that transmitter out is set for Max-
imum to 27 dBm level. However the 6 volt should not exceed more than 6 volt, due to some of the control line using 3 volt line to execute switching device. Transmitter is not design to operate at 100% duty cycle. Best performance is less than 30% duty cycle. GINA 2011 RF Module is not designed or intended for any portable or handheld devices such as telephone set, PCMCIA devices or Portable PCs. 2001 GRE America, Inc. All rights reserved.

We are also focusing beyond the IEEE 802.11b application standard.The RF Module can provide an adjustable transmitter output power from 10 dBm to 27dBm
(500 mW). The Receiver front end is installed with an extra low noise amplifier in order to perform extended distance wireless communications. The RF Module size is also as small as a name card so as to cover any typical OEM application to fit this very small size. However this RF Module cannot work without a Controller.The Prism II chipset requires that you configure each registor value while programming from the other controller unit. 2. Requirement GINA RF Module uses the Prism II chip set. The base band chip, RF up / down chip and the IF chip are required to be programmed from the Controller (similar to a MAC device ).Therefore you should understand the basic theory about how it is necessary to program to these chips. The Data Book
(included in this PDF downlaod Application Notes from Intersil ) also describes a more detailed tech-
nical information on How to Program . Module are using chip as below. HFA3861B----------Base band HFA3783N----------IF HFA3683AIN-------RF up/down 2a The RF Module requires the User to basically enable the transmit or receive mode via the controller unit. You must also select the antenna port because the RF Module features a dual antenna port for diversity operations. This selection is executed via the base band chip - HFA3861. 2b DC voltage required to module. 3.3 v DC --------------max current 300mA 6.0v DC ---------------max current 650 mA
(5.0 VDC still will operate however the Tx out power will be at 24 dBm maximum) Programming 2c Please be sure to follow these requirements when you are programming the RF Module. Master clock -----------------44.000 Mhz IF center frequency -------374 Mhz Therefor 1st LO frequency need to program to HFA3683AIN RF up/down chip. LO = Frx/tx 374 Mhz Frx/tx is receive or transmit frequency between 2400~24835 Mhz. 2d Also IF chip HFA 3783IN need to program . Main clock ---------44.000 Mhz LO required to program -------2 x 374 Mhz which is 748 Mhz. 2001 GRE America, Inc. All rights reserved. This material is the property of GRE America, Inc.
