It enables the host medical device to wirelessly establish bi directional communication with other remote devices using the Philips’ WMTS infrastructure. Figure 1: WMTS-MODULE Block Diagram 3 Host Interface The WMTS radio module interfaces to the host though a single I/O connector (Figure 2). Via this connector the host must supply DC power, signal ground and modulating data to the radio module. The communication between the host device and the radio module is a two wire asynchronous serial interface (Table 1).

This maximum over the air data rate is fixed by design and cannot be modified by the user. 5 WMTS-MODULE RF Shielding. The module contains all necessary RF shielding. The host device does not need to provide additional shielding. Page 5 of 6 6 WMTS-MODULE Mounting Considerations. The module is self-contained and can be mounted anywhere using the supplied threaded pem nuts. No special heat sinking considerations are required. There are no orientation constraints. 7 RF Input/Output, Antenna The WMTS Radio Module is only approved for use with the antenna specified by Philips, part number M4842-61300. This antenna cannot be replaced with an antenna of a different type. The RF input and output of the WMTS-MODULE is matched to 50 ohms. A coaxial cable brings the RF outside the metal enclosure. This cable uses a unique non standard connector manufactured by JST (JST part number AYUI-1S-12676-221). The coaxial cable connects to a JST to reversed TNC adapter made by Amphenol (Amphenol part number 031-6101) where the antenna plugs in. The antenna is made by Radial to Philips’ specifications (Philips specifications number A-M4842- 61300-1, rev A). 7.1 RF Transmitter Specifications The following table summarizes general transmitter specifications (Table 3). For complete details (including details on the receiver section) refer to ES-M4840-90108: 1. Frequency ranges: Bands: 1395 - 1400 MHz and 1427 - 1432 MHz 2. RF Output Power 8 dBm +2/-3dB, 6.3 mW (3.2 mW to 10 mW), into Antenna load. Calibrated int…
