The WSN802G transceiver module is a low cost, robust solution for 802.11g sensor
networks. The WSN802G’s very low sleep current makes long life battery operation
practical. The WSN802G module includes analog, digital and serial I/O, providing
the flexibility and versatility needed to serve a wide range of sensor network applica-
tions. The WSN802G module is easy to integrate and is compatible with standard
802.11b/g access points.

WSN802G Hardware
The WSN802G operates in the international 2.4 GHz
ISM band over the frequency range of 2401-2474 MHz,
with a nominal RF output power of 10 mW. The WSN-
802G supports two standard 802.11g RF data rates, 1
and 2 Mb/s.
The WSN802G transceiver module provides a variety of
hardware interfaces. There are two serial interfaces, one
for data and a second for diagnostics. The data port sup-
ports standard serial baud rates from 1.2 to 921.6 kb/s,
and the diagnostic port operates at a fixed baud rate of
9.6 kb/s. Hardware flow control is not currently imple-
mented on either serial port.
The WSN802G includes two 10-bit ADC inputs, a 16-bit
PWM (DAC) output, two digital inputs and two digital out-
puts to support sensor network applications.
The WSN802G is available in two mounting configura-
tions. The WSN802GC is designed for solder reflow
mounting, and the WSN802GP is designed for plug-in
connector mounting.
WSN802G Firmware
The major firmware components in the WSN802G in-
clude the 802.11g stack and the application protocol.
The WSN802G acts as a UDP client to a data and/or
sensor application running on a network server.
The application protocol supports three operating modes:
(1) sleeping sensor node with timer or interrupt auto-
reporting, (2) sleeping serial data node with timer or inter-
rupt wake-up and (3) always on sensor or serial data
node with auto-reporting. Modes 1 and 2 take full advan-
tage of the very low sleep current capability of the
WSN802G. The module sleeps unless the WAKE_IN
input is asserted or the
AutoReport
timer fires. A
Wake-
Timeout
timer is provided to hold the module awake for
a configurable period. The
WakeTimout
timer is held in
reset as long as WAKE_IN is asserted, serial data is
being received, an RF packet is being sent or received,
or if the module is uncommissioned.
The WSN802G asserts WAKE_OUT whenever it is
awake to notify its external host. The module also sends
an I/O status report automatically each time WAKE_IN is
asserted, and/or each time the
AutoReport
timer fires.

WSN802G Antenna Connector
A U.FL miniature coaxial connector is provided on both WSN802G configurations for connection to the RFIO port.
A short U.FL coaxial cable can be used to connect the RFIO port directly to an antenna. In this case the antenna
should be mounted firmly to avoid stressing the U.FL coaxial cable due to antenna mounting flexure. Alternately,
a U.FL coaxial jumper cable can be used to connect the WSN802G module to a U.FL connector on the host cir-
cuit board. The connection between the host circuit board U.FL connector and the antenna or antenna connector
on the host circuit board should be implemented as a 50 ohm stripline. Referring to Figure 3, the width of this
stripline depends on the thickness of the circuit board between the stripline and the groundplane. For FR-4 type
circuit board materials (dielectric constant of 4.7), the width of the stripline is equal to 1.75 times the thickness of
the circuit board. Note that other circuit board traces should be spaced away from the stripline to prevent signal
coupling, as shown in Figure 4. The stripline trace should be kept short to minimize its insertion loss.
