Overview This document provides integration, installation and usage instructions for the SkydioLink 5GHz Radio (FCC 2ATQRSMO5GV1 / IC 25280-SMO5GV1). Module Integration Pinout & power requirements All module power and control signals are passed from the end device to the module over J9800, following the below pinout: Detail on pin-out requirements: Pin Number Required Signal Purpose 1, 3, 5, 7 5V (780 mA minimum) 5V Supply for RF front end modules 2, 4, 6, 8 3.3V 3.
Boot Sequence When first turning on the radio, the below power on sequence must be used to ensure that the radio will operate correctly: Module Mechanical Integration The SkydioLink 5GHz Radio snaps into place using the two board to board connectors (Hirose DF30FC-40DP-0.4V) on the lower side of the module. All power and signal lines are passed via J9800, and J9801 is only used to secure the module in place instead of using screws.
Antenna Connectors The radio module uses two I-PEX u.FL connectors (20441-001E-01) to connect external antennas to the module. The connectors are snapped an place, and do not require any external pressure or screws. On the antenna cable, the mating connector is an I-PEX 20351-1 series (or equivalent) connector. Antenna types and gains must follow the FCC / IC regulatory filings submitted by Skydio.
Usage Guidelines Power & frequency settings are not advised to be exposed to the user, and should be set at the factory to ensure that the radio is correctly configured relative to the regulatory filings submitted by Skydio. Regional Settings All power levels & frequency bands must follow regional restrictions. Two methods can be used to ensure that these are followed: 1. During a factory installation, set the power tables based on the intended country of sale for the specific end device SKU 2.
