1.5 Key Features and Standards

The LA-5137 CF Card supports all required modes of operation as an 802.11a/b/g Mobile Unit (MU). In

802.11g mode, the radio supports three different modulation modes: Legacy 1 and 2 Mbps, Complimentary

Code Keying (CCK), and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). The radio supports the

following 12 data rates in 802.11b/g mode:

In addition to supporting 802.11g, LA-5137 supports all required modes of operation as an 802.11a mobile

unit. This radio supports the following 8 data rates in 802.11a mode:

The LA-5137 CF Card supports station operation in Continuous Aware Mode (CAM) and Fast Power-Save and

Max Power-Save modes.

Architecture

2.1 System Architecture

The LA-5137 is a modified type 1 CFA card. The LA-5137 Compact Flash Adapter CF card consists of all of the

integrated circuits necessary to provide WLAN transceiver functionality for the 2.4GHz and 5 GHz bands. The

Wireless LAN integrated Media Access Controller with Baseband processor directly interfaces with the Dual

Band Direct Conversion transceiver. With the addition of RF Front-end Module (FEM), the LA-5137 Compact

Flash Adapter card incorporates the WLAN chip set solution compliant with 802.11a/b/g standards.

Figure 2.1 Top-level LA-5137 CF Card architecture

The 40MHz crystal controlled clock provides the necessary clocks for both the PLL and the baseband & MAC

chip. The SDRAM provides additional memory to support SHoC (Self Hosted Client) operation. Not shown in

Figure 2.1 are the necessary voltage regulators that provide various supply voltages for the chips. The

regulators require 3.3V input supply.

The EEPROM is used to hold radio information including radio calibration information done at the automatic

manufacturing test step.

2.2 Hardware Environment

2.2.1 Introduction

The LA-5137 CF card can be used in handheld mobile devices to provide wireless network access. It

communicates using Radio Frequencies (RF) between two or more users or between a user and the wired

network. The module implements the IEEE 802.11a/g physical (RF) specification. The chipset used provides

for modulation, demodulation, spreading, and despreading of the RF signals.

2.2.2 Card Dimensions

The LA-5137 is a modified type 1 CFA card. See Appendix A, Product Mechanical Interface Drawing for

Mechanical Interface Drawing.

2.2.3 Card Physical

2.2.3.1 Operational Environment

NOTE: The product is not required to be powered during test activities. Only parameters marked by an *

shall be powered during testing. Testing per Symbol Qualification Test Standard SS-03800-74.

2.2.4 Antenna Connectors (non embedded antenna)

The LA-5137-1002-WWR CF card (External Antenna Version) supports 2 RF connector (Hirose U.FL-R-SMT, or

equivalent). The antennas can be attached to the card through the connectors. There are two connectors on

the LA-5137-1002-WWR unit.

Architecture 2-3

NOTE: Antenna sharing with other radio modules is not supported on the LA-5137.

2.2.5 Antenna Requirements

For detailed antenna requirements, refer Chapter 7, Antenna Requirements (External Antenna).

NOTE: Regulatory Note: Many country regulations require special testing and reporting of antenna

performance or of the system with the antenna attached. Please check the appropriate regulatory

authority or contact Motorola for more information.

2.2.6 TX and RX Diversity

TX and RX diversity is only supported on the connector version of LA-5137 (LA-5137-1002-WWR).
