A WiFi module is a hardware module that integrates WiFi communication functions, typically consisting of components such as a WiFi communication chip, RF front-end, antenna, and other auxiliary circuits. The WiFi communication chip is the core part of the WiFi module, responsible for handling various protocols and data transmission of WiFi communication. The RF front-end is responsible for processing RF signal amplification and filtering to ensure the stability and reliability of WiFi communication. The antenna is used to receive and send WiFi signals, which is a key part of achieving wireless communication. The auxiliary circuit includes power supply circuit, clock circuit, sensor interface, etc., to support the normal operation of WiFi modules and connections with other devices.

Composition of WiFi modules

WiFi communication chip: The WiFi communication chip is the core part of the WiFi module, responsible for handling the protocol and data transmission of WiFi communication. Common WiFi communication chips include chips produced by manufacturers such as Broadcom, Espressif, Realtek, etc. They support different WiFi protocols, such as 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax, and can provide different wireless communication rates and coverage ranges.

RF front-end: RF front-end is another important component of WiFi module, responsible for processing RF signal amplification, filtering, and frequency conversion. The performance of RF front-end has a significant impact on the stability and reliability of WiFi communication. Common RF front-end technologies include low noise amplifiers, filters, power amplifiers, etc.

Antennas: Antennas are a crucial part of wireless communication, used to receive and send WiFi signals. Common antenna types include patch antennas, patch antennas, antenna modules, etc. Their installation methods and performance characteristics in WiFi modules vary, and suitable antennas can be selected according to different application scenarios and needs.

Auxiliary circuit: The auxiliary circuit includes power supply circuit, clock circuit, sensor interface, etc., to support the normal operation of the WiFi module.
