Adapter Board Description
For using a radio module with the Demo Board and it features, a specific Adapter Board is
necessary. It is a carrier board for the radio module which has to be plugged on the
RM connector (X1 and X2) of the Demo Board. Figure 4-1 shows an Adapter Board with a
soldered radio module.

Table 4-1: Assignment between WiMOD Modules and Adapter Boards
The following tables (Table 4-2 and Table 4-3) explain the pin assignment of the Adapter
Boards respectively the pin assignment of the RM connector (X1 and X2) if the Adapter Board is
plugged on the Demo Board. The “Pad Nr.” relates to the pads of the soldered radio module.
All Adapter Boards consist of a SMA connector which is connected to the 50
pad of the radio
module. It can be used for connecting RF measurement equipment or an external antenna. In
this case the RF path of a radio module has to be switched to the 50
pad instead of using the
integrated PCB antenna.
