Product Specification Rev. 1.2 Page 8
2 Overview
The PAN9026 is a dual band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi radio module with
integrated Bluetooth BR/EDR/LE, specifically designed for highly integrated and cost-effective
applications. The simultaneous and independent operation of the two standards enables high
data rates (802.11n) and low-power operation (Bluetooth Low Energy). Integrated power
management, a fast dual-core CPU, 802.11i security standard support, and high-speed data
interfaces deliver the performance for the speed, reliability, and quality requirements of next
generation products. TX power calibration data and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth system parameters are
pre-stored on the one-time-programmable memory of the PAN9026 during production at
Panasonic. This simplifies passing the certification process for PAN9026 customers.
Furthermore, the module reduces design, test, and calibration effort resulting in reduced
time-to-market compared to discrete solutions.
Integrating Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless connectivity allows applications such as Smart Energy
and home gateways to manage multiple devices and appliances. The combination of Wi-Fi and
Bluetooth provides the highest flexibility for connectivity.

2.7 Coexistence
The implemented coexistence framework is based on the IEEE 802.15.2 recommended practice
Packet Traffic Arbitration (PTA) scheme and the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (Bluetooth
SIG) Core Specification Volume 7 (Wireless Coexistence Volume).
2.7.1 WLAN/Bluetooth Channel Information Exchange
Since Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11 b/g/n WLAN use the same 2.4 GHz frequency band, each can
cause interference with another. The level of interference depends on the respective frequency
channel used by Bluetooth and WLAN (other factors can impact interference, like Tx power and
Rx sensitivity of the device).
In a system with both Bluetooth and WLAN, the common host receives information about WLAN
channel usage and passes the information to the Bluetooth device. For Bluetooth 1.2 devices
with Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) enabled, the Bluetooth device can block channel
usage that overlaps the WLAN channel in use.
When the Bluetooth device avoids all channels used by the WLAN, the impact of interference is
reduced, but not completely eliminated. For Bluetooth 1.1 devices, the Bluetooth device cannot
block WLAN channel usage. In this case, a Bluetooth Coexistence Arbiter (BCA) scheme at
MAC level is required. The BCA scheme can also be used with Bluetooth 1.2 devices to further
reduce the impact of interference to a minimum.
2.7.2 External Mobile Wireless System (LTE/ZigBee®) and BCA Exchange
Based on the Bluetooth SIG Wireless Coexistence Volume, the device supports a Wireless
Coexistence Interface 2 (WCI-2) protocol for WLAN and Bluetooth coexistence with an external
Mobile Wireless System (MWS), such as a Long Term Evolution (LTE) or ZigBee device.
WCI-2 is a 2-wire transport interface. An internal coexistence is used to exchange request/grant
with the BCA.

Capability
• Programmable coexistence interface timing, interface modes, and signal
polarity to support a variety of external Bluetooth devices
• Programmable decision policies and transaction lock behavior for
various use cases
• Interface with external or on-chip Bluetooth device
• Supports Bluetooth 1.1 or Bluetooth 1.2 AFH
• WLAN-coordinated/Bluetooth-coordinated low-power design
• Enhanced information sharing between WLAN and Bluetooth for
combined systems
• WLAN/Bluetooth/MWS (LTE/ZigBee) coexistence support

WLAN priority (2-bit)
WLAN direction
Bluetooth priority (1-bit or 2-bit)
Bluetooth direction
Bluetooth frequency in/out band
MWS priority (2-bit)
MWS direction
AFH
If AFH is enabled in the Bluetooth device, and there is a sufficient
guard-band outside the WLAN operating frequency, the Bluetooth device
uses the Out-Of-Band (OOB) channel with respect to the WLAN device.
Otherwise, the Bluetooth device uses the In-Band (IB) and OOB channels
with respect to the WLAN device.
The IB and OOB information is either provided by the Bluetooth device
through the coexistence interface, or it can be provided through firmware
controls in a shared-host system. IB/OOB is a vector in the decision matrix.

Decision Policies
System configuration is a major consideration when planning decision
policies. The configuration governs how RF paths are shared and how
much interference will occur. Interference combinations include:
WLAN TX and Bluetooth TX
WLAN TX and Bluetooth RX
WLAN RX and Bluetooth TX
WLAN RX and Bluetooth RX
Interference combinations where WLAN and Bluetooth share the same
antenna:
WLAN TX and Bluetooth TX share the same antenna, the decision
matrix allows either WLAN or Bluetooth TX (both OOB and IB), based
on relative packet priorities.
WLAN TX and Bluetooth RX (both OOB and IB) have sizable
interference impacts on Bluetooth RX, the decision matrix grants or
denies WLAN TX based on relative packet priorities.
WLAN RX and Bluetooth TX (both OOB and IB) have sizable
interference impacts on WLAN RX, the decision matrix grants or
denies Bluetooth TX based on relative packet priorities.
WLAN RX and Bluetooth RX (both OOB and IB) have no impact on
each other, the decision matrix grants both.
Interference combinations where WLAN and Bluetooth have their own
antenna:
WLAN TX and Bluetooth TX in OOB situation have little interference
impact on each other, the decision matrix grants both.
WLAN TX and Bluetooth TX in IB have sizable interference impact on
each other, the decision matrix allows either WLAN or Bluetooth TX,
based on relative packet priorities.
WLAN TX and Bluetooth RX in OOB situation have little interference
impact on each other, the decision matrix grants both provided there
is enough antenna isolation between WLAN and Bluetooth antenna.
WLAN TX and Bluetooth RX in IB situation have sizable interference
impact on Bluetooth RX, the decision matrix grants or denies WLAN
TX based on relative packet priorities.
WLAN RX and Bluetooth TX in OOB situation have little interference
impact on each other, the decision matrix grants both provided there
is enough antenna isolation between WLAN and Bluetooth antenna.
WLAN RX and Bluetooth TX in IB situation have sizable interference
impact on WLAN RX, the decision matrix grants or denies Bluetooth
TX based on relative packet priorities.
WLAN RX and Bluetooth RX (both OOB and IB) have no impact on
each other, the decision matrix grants both.
For the devices running in a basic shared antenna configuration, the linear
switching imposes restrictions on simultaneous transfer. Reasonable
policies include:
WLAN and Bluetooth are never granted at the same time
Decision matrix grants a device based on relative packet priorities
and direction
Priority order: High > Medium High > Medium > Low
For equal priority contention, select one device to win, that optimizes
the usage case
For the devices running in an enhanced shared antenna configuration, the
linear switching imposes restrictions on some simultaneous transfers.

Features
Transaction Stopping
The arbiter allows control of what transfers can be stopped after an initial
grant. If allowed, a transaction can be stopped for higher priority request.
A transaction stop decision is a function of the decision policies and
transaction stopping control. The transaction stopping control is
configurable per device and direction.
2.7.6 Bluetooth Capability
Type
Features
Request Schemes
The PTA signals are directly controlled by the hardware to meet timing
requirements of the Bluetooth radio. The software controls the type of traffic
in priority mode. Mechanism enforced for control include:
• Selection of certain types of communication always treated as high
priority
• Selection of individual frames marked with high priority
• Real-time signaling of the next slot marked with high priority
• Automatic hardware control, based on the grant/denial history of the
Bluetooth link
Timing Control
The signal timing scheme PTA is fully programmable relative to the
Bluetooth packet timing.
2.7.7 WLAN Capability
Type
Features
Capability

2.7.8 LTE (MWS) Capability
The device supports a Bluetooth SIG WCI-2 MWS coexistence signaling interface. The
coexistence logical signaling is designed to enable a standard interface to allow an MWS device
and a Coexistence Controller to exchange information and support cooperative coexistence.
The WCI-2 signals carry time-critical information such as the start point of an MWS frame. The
logical coexistence signaling architecture also includes transparent data messaging and vendor
specific data messaging mechanism to enable passing information to and from the collocated
MWS device and Coexistence Controller when long latency (tens of milliseconds) cannot be
tolerated.
For further information please refer to 2.7.4 WCI-2 Interface.
Coexistence Signals
The logical signals assist in time alignment, protecting MWS from interference and maximizing
the usability of the Bluetooth radio.

2.7.9 ZigBee (MWS) Coexistence Capability
ZigBee is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard and it is used by a suite of communication
protocols to create Personal Area Networks (PANs) supporting home automation, lighting
control, etc. ZigBee radios operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM band worldwide. Unlike Bluetooth, the
ZigBee specification does not use AFH. When coexisting with WLAN/Bluetooth in the 2.4 GHz
band, it is important to avoid co-channel (IB) operation of these radios.
The device re-uses the MWS coexistence interface to support ZigBee coexistence. The
coexistence logical signaling is used to allow a ZigBee device and a WLAN/Bluetooth combined
device to exchange information and support cooperative coexistence.
Coexistence Signals
The logical signals used for ZigBee and WLAN/Bluetooth coexistence are a subset of the LTE
coexistence signaling. Considering the lower data rate of ZigBee packets, a lower baud rate
may be chosen for the 2-wire UART physical interface. The BCA supports 3-way arbitration
among ZigBee/WLAN/Bluetooth requests.

Modes of Operation
The PCM Interface supports two modes of operation:
• PCM master
• PCM slave
When in PCM master mode, the interface generates a 2 MHz or a 2.048 MHz signal PCM_CLK
and a 8 kHz signal PCM_SYNC signal. An alternative PCM master mode is available that uses
an externally generated signal PCM_CLK, but still generates the 8 kHz signal PCM_SYNC. The
external signal PCM_CLK must have a frequency that is an integer multiple of 8 kHz. Supported
frequencies are in the 512 kHz to 4 MHz range.
When in PCM slave mode, the interface has both signal PCM_CLK and signal PCM_SYNC as
inputs, thereby letting another unit on the PCM bus generate the signals.
The PCM interface consists of up to four PCM slots (time-devided) preceded by a PCM sync
signal. Each PCM slot can be either 8 bits or 16 bits wide. The slots can be separated in time,
but they are not required to follow immediately after another. The timing is relative to signal
PCM_SYNC.

5 Cautions
Failure to follow the guidelines set forth in this document may result in
degrading of the module functions and damage to the module.
5.1 Design Notes
Radio requires a RF ground plane on the rest of the
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) area. This can be located on any layer of the
PCB. For best performance, extend the RF ground plane the entire length of
your board. Connect all ground pins and do not notch the ground plane around
the module. The bottom of the module is grounded. So be careful of vias or
conductive traces located under the modules that are not soldered masked to
prevent shorting.
Keep metallic components, connectors, copper traces, internal layers, and
ground planes away from the antenna area in 3D space!
1. Follow the conditions written in this specification, especially the control signals of this
module.
2. The supply voltage should abide by the maximum ratings ( 4.2 Absolute Maximum
Ratings).
3. The supply voltage must be free of AC ripple voltage (for example from a battery or a low
noise regulator output). For noisy supply voltages, provide a decoupling circuit (for
example a ferrite in series connection and a bypass capacitor to ground of at least 47 µF
directly at the module).
4. This module should not be mechanically stressed when installed.
