USING THE ANTENNA
28 Connect Wi-Wave Hardware Reference, Rev B 9/2007
Connect
Wi-Wave antenna
configurations
The Connect Wi-Wave can transmit data or receive data, but not at the same time.
Software controls the transmit/receive functionality as well as the antenna switch.
You have the option of using two antennas (required for diversity receive) or one
antenna to transmit and receive data.
 Using two antennas: The Connect Wi-Wave transmits on one antenna and
receives on the other antenna (at separate times) without changing the
antenna switch. Use both cables.
 Using one antenna: The Connect Wi-Wave transmits on one antenna, software
toggles the antenna switch, then the Connect Wi-Wave receives on the same
antenna. Use only one cable, which can be connected to either U.FL connector
on the module and on the development board.
U.FL cable and
RP-SMA
connection
Use these connection steps with the RP-SMA antennas: 29000095 — 2.4-2.5 GHz
Dipole and 29000146 — 2.4 GHz Dipole 5.5 dBi:
1 Attach one end of the cable(s) to the U.FL connector(s) (P1, P2) on the Connect
Wi-Wave module.
2 Attach the other end of the cable(s) to the U.FL connector(s) (P11, P12) on the
development board.
3 Attach the RP-SMA antenna to the appropriate RP-SMA connector (J11, J12) on
the development board. If you are using only one cable/connection, be sure you
attach the RP-SMA antenna to the correct connector:
– If the cable is connected to U.FL connector P11, or WiFi antenna 1, attach
the RP-SMA antenna to J11.
– If the cable is connected to U.FL connector P12, or WiFi antenna 2, attach
the RP-SMA antenna to J12.
