Page 23: Spi Protocol
Airborne Enterprise Module Databook Quatech, Inc. SPI Protocol A SPI message is composed of a 4 byte header followed by 0 or more bytes of data. The header data is full-duplex. That is, the TX message header is sent to the Airborne Device Server module by the host at the same time the RX message header is sent to the host from the Airborne Device Server. -

Page 27: Antenna
Any antenna used with the system must be designed for operation within the 2.4GHz ISM band and specifically must support the 2.412GHz to 2.482GHz for 802.11b/g operation. They are required to have a VSWR of 2:1 maximum referenced to a 50... -
Page 28: Host Chassis Mounted Antenna
However if the flying lead connector is used, the same restrictions as identified for the Host Mounted Antenna apply. There are many suppliers of flying lead antenna and connectors; Quatech’s Airborne Antenna product line offers a range of antenna solutions. -
Page 29: Antenna Location
Minimize the distance between the radio and the location of the antenna. The coaxial cable between the two impacts the Transmit Power and Receive Sensitivity negatively. Quatech recommends using 1.32-1.37mm outer diameter U.FL coaxial cables. Minimize the locations where metal surfaces come into contact or are close to the location of the antenna. -
Page 30: Performance
Airborne Enterprise Module Databook Quatech, Inc. Locate the antenna where there is a minimum of obstruction between the antenna and the location of the Access Points. Typically Access Points are located in the ceiling or high on walls. ... - Page 31 RxC = Receiver to Antenna coax cable loss (dB) This is a complex subject and requires more information than is presented here, Quatech recommends at reviewing the subject and evaluating any system at a basic level. It is then possible, with a combination of the above items and an understanding of the application demands, to achieve a link quality optimized for the application and host design.
