Note 1: It is advantageous to use the smallest channel bandwidth that can support the throughput requirements. Smaller bandwidths provide more channels to choose and help avoid interference issues.
Note 2: Total Tx power for all streams. Max allowed Tx power depends on the regulatory domain. De-rating of -1 dBm for U.FL connector.

System Integration
Figure 3. System Integration Block Diagram.
As shown in the block diagram, the modular nature of the MIMO radio transceivers allow for accelerated development of the wireless modem. Any embedded Single Board Computer with standard miniPCI-Express interface is required. The Linux distribution OpenWRT has evolved over time and provides advanced features in a wireless router. It is a stable distribution and many OEMs are using OpenWRT as a starting point and customize further for their application. The distribution includes the ath10k driver to interface with the MIMO transceivers. Both
OpenWRT and open source drivers (ath9k and ath10k) have extensive online documentation available. User group forums also provide responsive technical support.
