It enables the host medical device to wirelessly establish bi-
directional communication with other remote devices using the Philips WMTS infrastructure. _...-.sheet Metal Housing ____ 28. RF antenna

Via this connector the host supplies DC power, signal ground and modulating data to the radio Module. The communication between the host device and the Module is a two wire asynchronous serial interface (Table 1). ae a ee oe Be BS eS pS cman nnsnssnamnasntatsn irnetananen pacamantan ahi oe aes ss BE annnnnnersnnrenerrmrnnnarsroenmanecccsosssrosesss di Oe ee se

The interface to the Host is a serial communication link (Table 2):
> Flow Control: Tx, Rx; no hardware flow control
> Baud Rate: 115.2 kbaud;
> Parity: No parity bit
> Bits: 8 bits of data, plus 1 Start/Stop bits
> Logic Levels: TTL levels, 5 volt tolerant. Table 2: Serial Lines, Electrical DC Characteristics Maximum User Data Rate:
The maximum user data rate that the radio supports is 12 kbits/second in each direction. This maximum over the air data rate is fixed by design and cannot be modified by the user. 4 Module RF Shielding. The Module contains all necessary RF shielding. The host device does not need to provide additional shielding. Application Note: M2638A Instrument Telemetry Module Document Number M4840-90130 Rev B Page 3 of 6 5 Module Mounting Considerations. The Module is self-contained and can be mounted anywhere using the supplied threaded pem nuts. No special heat sinking considerations are required. There are no orientation constraints. 6 RF Input/Output, Antenna The Module is only approved for use with the antennas specified by Philips, listed here:
1. Dipole Whip Philips Part Number M4842-61300 2. Tri-Band Philips Part Number M3002-66493 3. Dual-Band Philips Part Number M8100-66490 These antennas cannot be replaced with antennas of a different type. However, antennas of equivalent type with equal or lower gain to the listed antennas can be used. The RF input and output of the Module 1s matched to 50 ohms. A coaxial cable brings the RF outside the metal enclosure. This cable uses a unique non standard connector manufactured by JST (IST part number A YUI-1S-12676-221). For the dipole whip, the coaxial cable connects to a JST-to-reversed-TNC adapter made by Amphenol (Amphenol part number 031-6101) where the antenna plugs in. 7 RF Transmitter Specifications The following table summarizes general transmitter specifications (Table 3). For complete details
(including details on the receiver section) refer to ES-M4840-90108:
1. Frequency ranges: Bands: 1395 - 1400 MHz and 1427 - 1432 MHz 2. RF Output Power 8 dBm +2/-3dB, 6.3 mW (3.2 mW to 10 mW), into Antenna load. Calibrated into 50 ohms. 3. RF Output Power control a) Transmitter chain gain shall be calibrated at time of manufacture (env temp 25+/-5deg.C). b) Over power algorithm deployed to prevent excess power and also includes temperature compensation. 4. Transceiver frequency accuracy +/-15KHz relative to channel frequency, includes
{Transceiver Frequency accuracy temperature compensation & aging effects. Table 3: Module, Transmitter Specifications 8 Fault Conditions Over/ Under Voltage The input voltage from the DC power source to the Module must remain between the values specified in Table 1. Operating the radio Module from a voltage lower source lower than 4.75 vdc or higher than 5.25 vdc can cause the regulator section to shut down ceasing operation of the Module. Application Note: M2638A Instrument Telemetry Module Document Number M4840-90130 Rev B Page 4 of 6 Excessive Signal Level on Serial Input The data input signal levels must be observed as specified in Table 2. Driving the input data line over 5 vdc can cause damage to the Module input buffers, causing interruption of data transfer. Excessive Data Rate on Serial Input The host serial communication data rate is fixed at 115.2 kbaud. Clocking data at different baud rates will result in incorrect data transfer. The maximum host/user over the RF link data rate is 12 kbps. Attempting to send data at a faster rate will result in data buffer overrun and data loss. 9 Accompanying Documentation for products incorporating the Module Products which incorporate this device will be labeled Contains FCC ID: PQC-WMTS-MODULE, and their accompanying documentation should prominently display the following:
