Interfaces
SOM RF Specification for WIFI, BT
The SOM includes the following radio interfaces from a single QCA6174A-1 module:
o ANT1: Wi-Fi antenna 1 + BT
o ANT2: Wi-Fi antenna 2
Antenna 1: The antenna 1 connector is for one of the two Wi-Fi antennas as well as the single
Bluetooth antenna.
Antenna 2: The antenna 2 connector is for the second Wi-Fi antenna.
By default, both antenna ports are connected by coaxial cables to the PCB trace antennas on the carrier
board. Note that two dual-band (2.4GHz + 5GHz) antennas are required to be connected to achieve
full performance of the Wi-Fi interface. If only Bluetooth is being used, then only a single 2.4GHz
antenna connected to antenna 1 is necessary.
The SOM WiFi/BT module is a pre-certified module for FCC and Industry Canada (see FCC ID:
2AFDI-ITCNFA324 for details). Please note that the on-board PCB antennas were not the antennas
used for the SOM WiFi/BT module certification.
For details on connecting the WiFi module to the on-board PCB antennas on the carrier board, refer to
section below.
