Operational Description WDF710Q is the 802.11 b/g/n RF Module that acts as a communication controller for users of a wireless device to connect to WiFi TV. This uses IEEE 802.11n network with 13 channels at 2.4GHz and 27channels at 5GHz - Features >IEEE 802.11n, Single stream 1x1 >Dual-band 2.4GHz /5 GHz >Integrated PA, LNA >Green Tx power saving mode >Low power listen mode >Data rates up to 150Mbps >Full security support : WPS,WPA,WPA2,WAPI,WEP,TKIP >Host interface : USB2.0 High-speed - Time base of the RF frequency For IF and RF frequency, a crystal(40MHz) is a clock reference. - Synthesizer Synthesizer inside Transceiver. Internal voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) provides the desired LO signal base on the phase-locked loop (PLL) with a relatively wide tuning range for this application. - Transmission Base-band Processing (BBP) IC has DSSS (BPSK/QPSK/CCK) and OFDM (BPSK/QPSK/16QAM/64QAM) modulation function, it provides transmission data rate are 1, 2, 5.5, 11 Mbps on DSSS and 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbps on OFDM. Digital data signal will be converted to analog (TX IQ) signals through DAC in BBP IC, TX IQ pass through to low pass filter. TX I/Q signal use direct conversion (zero-IF) architecture converter to generate carrier frequency signal. Transceiver IC and internal PA magnify output power. - Receiver Reverse direction isolation of LNA inside Transceiver IC suppresses unwanted radiation. Then RF signal will be directly down to IF signal (RX IQ) and high frequency spurious emissions are suppressed by LPF. At last RX IQ signal will be demodulated digital data. - Power Control Level It uses open-loop power control function to limit RF output power level using a calibration file. - Integrated Network Processor Network processor manages Wi-Fi link operations. The network processor code is loaded automatically from a ROM. The network processor is optimized for energy efficient communications Version 1.0 Samsung Electronics page 3 of 5 - Product Details > Data Modulation OFDM (BPSK / QPSK / 16QAM / 64QAM) > Frequency Range 2412-2484MHz 5180-5825MHz - Module power output Freq (MHz) Data rate 2412 2437 2462 5180 5500 5825 11 18.6 18.8 18.8 6 18.2 18.4 18.4 15.8 15.9 15.6 9 18.3 18.4 18.2 15.9 15.8 15.7 12 18.1 18.2 18.2 15.7 15.6 15.6 18 18.2 17.9 18.2 15.8 15.7 15.8 24 18.2 18.3 18.3 15.9 15.8 15.8 36 16.3 16.4 16.2 13.8 13.7 13.6 48 14 14.2 14.1 11.2 11.2 11.1 54 14 14.4 14.3 10.3 10.1 10.7 HT20MCS0 18 18.3 18.2 14.7 15 15.6 HT20MCS1 16.8 17 16.9 13.8 13.9 13.8 HT20MCS2 16.7 16.8 16.7 13.9 14 13.8 HT20MCS3 16.8 17 16.9 14 14.1 14.2 HT20MCS4 16.1 16.1 15.6 12.7 13.2 13 HT20MCS5 15.1 14.9 15.2 10.8 11.2 11.2 HT20MCS6 14.1 14 14 8.5 8.7 9.3 HT20MCS7 13.2 13.4 13.3 7.8 8.3 8.9 Version 1.0 Samsung Electronics page 4 of 5 4. Notice This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation is Subject to following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received including interference that cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply within the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a different circuit from that to which the receiver is connected • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. The transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction wit any other antenna or transmitter. The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. To satisfy RF exposure requirements, this device and its antenna(s) must operate with a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters from all persons and must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. End-users must be provided with specific operating instructions f…

RF_734_00, Issue 1 Modular Approval Request FCC (per DA 00-1407) FCC ID: _ A3LWDF710Q _ Items to be covered Answer from applicant 1. The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding. Yes 2. The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs (if such inputs are provided) to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 requirements under conditions of excessive data rates or over-modulation. Yes 3. The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation. Yes 4. The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of Section 15.203 and 15.204(c). The antenna must either be permanently attached or employ a “unique” antenna coupler (at all connections between the module and the antenna, including the cable).. Yes 5. The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing. This is intended to demonstrate that the module is capable of complying with Part 15 emission limits regardless of the device into which it is eventually installed. Yes 6. The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: XYZMODEL1” or “Contains FCC ID: XYZMODEL1.” Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The Grantee may either provide such a label, an example of which must be included in the application for equipment authorization, or, must provide adequate instructions along with the module which explain this requirement. In the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. Yes 7. The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rule or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter and the manufacturer must provide adequate instructions along with the module to explain any such requirements. A copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. For example, there are very strict operational and timing requirements that must be met before a transmitter is authorized for operation under Section 15.231. For instance, data transmission is prohibited, except for operation under Section 15.231(e), in which case there are separate field strength level and timing requirements. Compliance with these requirements must be assured. Yes 8. The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements. For example, FCC Rules in Sections 2.1091, 2.1093 and specific Sections of Part 15, including 15.319(i), 15.407(f), 15.253(f) and 15.255(g), require that Unlicensed PCS, UNII and millimeter wave devices perform routine environmental evaluation for RF Exposure to demonstrate compliance. In addition, spread spectrum transmitters operating under Section 15.247 are required to address RF Exposure compliance in accordance with Section 15.247(b)(4). Modular transmitters approved under other Sections of Part 15, when necessary, may also need to address certain RF Exposure concerns, typically by providing specific installation and operating instructions for users, installers and other interested parties to ensure compliance. Yes RF_734_00, Issue 1 Note: If compliance with one or more of the numbered requirements, listed above, cannot be demonstrated, it may be possible to obtain a “Limited Modular Approval” (LMA).
