FCC WARNING This equipment has been tested and found to comply with 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 the receiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that which the receiver is con- nected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Harmony 8150 PCI Adapter Technical Description Document # 610.00xx PRODUCT: The product is a WLAN adapter operating in the 5.15 – 5.35 GHz band with a maximum TX output power of 50mW. It is a circuit board assembly with a 62-pin power/data card edge connector and a pair of integral antennas. The peak gain for the two antennas is 3dBi and 1dBi, respectively. Refer to the manual for MPE statement. The device is design to fit into a universal PCI slot inside a PC. USER CONNECTIONS: Data and power are provided through the 62-pin card edge connector. A unique antenna connector is provided for attaching each of the antennas to the adapter. TEST CONNECTIONS: There are two 50 ohm RF ports on the PCA, one for each of the two antenna connections. Each antenna is terminated with a Radiall UMP3.0 lock-on plug. A slide-on version of the plug can be used during FCC certification for conducted measurements. INTERNAL CLOCK AND RF OSCILLATOR FREQUENCIES: MAC/baseband Processor ASIC 32MHz PCI BUS interface 33MHz RF synthesizer PLL frequencies of 40, 80, or 160MHz derived from a 32 MHz oscillator TX and RX frequencies 5180-5320MHz, 20MHz steps LO Leakage 4144-4256MHz Mixer Product 6216-6384MHz Baseband bandwidth 20MHz SIGNAL FLOW: Data is transferred through the 62-pin card edge connector (PCI bus) to the MAC/baseband processor which integrates the media access control (MAC), the baseband radio functions, A/D and D/A converters, transceiver control functions and a PCI/Cardbus interface. In transmit, the synthesizer tunes to one of the TX frequencies listed above. Data is initiated at the PCI interface, which is part of the MAC/baseband processor. Current outputs from the DAC of the MAC/baseband processor are low-pass filtered through the external reconstruction filter. The I and Q signals are converted to RF thru a dual-conversion architecture, from baseband to IF and from IF to RF signals. These signals are driven off-chip through a power amplifier, through the antenna switch, and to the antenna connector. In receive, the synthesizer tunes to one of the RX frequencies listed above. The receive signal path is from the antenna connector, through the antenna switch, a band pass filter, an LNA, a receive balun, and to the integrated transceiver IC. Inside the transceiver IC, the RF mixer converts the output of the on-chip LNA to an intermediate frequency. The IF mixer converts this signal down to baseband I and Q signals. The I and Q signals are low-pass filtered by the external channel select filters, and amplified by a baseband PGA controlled by digital logic. The baseband signals continue through external anti-alias filters before being sent to the ADC of the MAC/baseband processor. Data at the PCI interface of the MAC/baseband processor is processed and then sent to the PCI interface of the PC.
