5 GHz wireless LAN

Compliance with FCC requirement 15.407(c)

Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is transmitted down through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words, this device automatically discontinues transmission in case of either the absence of information to transmit or operational failure.

• Frequency Tolerance: ±20 ppm
