RTL8192E User’s Manual 1. General Description The Realtek RTL8192E miniCard is a highly integrated MIMO wireless LAN (WLAN) used for high speed wireless local network access. The card is built with a MAC and 1T2R capable baseband chip RTL8192E with an RF IC RTL8256. The RTL8192E miniCard implements multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with 1 transmit and 2 receive paths and is compatible with 802.11n Draft specification 2.0.
RTL8192E User’s Manual 2. General Features General • Operate at ISM frequency bands (2.4GHz) • IEEE standards support: IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g, draft 802.11n • Mini PCI Express interface • Enterprise level security which can apply WPA2 certification • 1 transmitter and 2 receivers allow data rates supporting up to 300 Mbps downstream and 150 Mbps upstream PHY rates.
RTL8192E User’s Manual PHY Features • IEEE 802.11n draft 2.0 MIMO OFDM - 1 transmitter and 2 receivers (1T2R). - 20MHz and 40MHz bandwidth transmission. - Short Guard Interval (400ns). - 1 spatial stream STBC transmission for extended coverage. - Sounding packet. • DSSS with DBPSK and DQPSK, CCK modulations with long and short preamble. • OFDM with BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, and 256QAM modulations. Convolutional coding rate: 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, and 5/6. • Maximum data rate 54Mbps in 802.11g and 300Mbps in 802.

RTL8192E User’s Manual As long as 3 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
