SimpleLink Wi-Fi Antenna Selection
Description
The SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® Antenna BoosterPack (CC3ANTENNABOOST) enables evaluation and development of end applications requiring antenna diversity. When used with the SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3200 Launchpad (CC3200-LAUNCHXL) or the CC3100 Boosterpack (CC3100BOOST) rev 3.1 or higher: the user can select the best antenna to use: based on the signal strength of the connection with a specific access point. There are two sets of orthogonal antennas on the board. The board supports the selection of on-board chip antenna: or external antenna via u.Fl connector. This board is useful for Wi-Fi antenna evaluation for applications requiring an extended Wi-Fi range.
Features
- Extends Wi-Fi range of the CC3200 Launchpad or CC3100 Booster Pack. Useful for applications: such as streaming audio or images: that require a higher throughput over an extended rangeNo on-board LDO. Once the CC3ANTENNABOOST and the CC3200-LAUNCHXL are connected: the CC3200-LAUNCHXL sources power to the CC3ANTENNABOOST. Specifically: the CC3200-LAUNCHXL provides power to the inverter and transceiver on the CC3ANTENNABOOSTProvision to select horizontal antenna and vertical antenna. On-board U.Fl connector for conducted testingContains: SKY13351-378LF: Skywork’s 2.0-6.0 GHz GaAs SPDT Switch; SN74AVCH2T45: Dual Bit Dual Supply Bus Transceiver with Bus Hold Feature; 74AHC1GU04: Unbuffered Single Inverter GateDesign includes hardware add-on to the CC3200-LAUNCHXL or CC3100BOOST with an MCU (such as CC31XXEMUBOOST or MSP-EXP430F5529LP): getting started guide and software examples (included in SDK for the CC3100 / CC3200)
