Small WLAN circuit
Small WLAN circuit
(OP)
I need to fit a WLAN transmitter into a tube, with inner diameter of 27mm or just over one inch, to transmit a lot of sensor data to a stand-by computer. The performance does not necessarily need to be stellar, 10Mbit or higher, and I can build my own circuit board to connect a set of chips. However, it would be nice to use something that is as close to a complete product as possible like a complete multi-chip module and I would prefere not to have to deal with implementation of specific protocols. I haven't been able to find hardware that small, so far, but maybe someone can help me out here?

However, might be a tight squeeze..

The new SanDisk WiFi SDIO card would probably be easier to do a driver for than the USB adapter.

but, I've been searching for embedded WiFi stuff for years and the driver is always the problem when you have no OS.
Consider using BlueTooth... lots of stuff starting to show up recently:

They have a complete wireless module that is 1 inch square.
Part # is AC4490-1x1. It is plug and play.

Is it possible to just sent the raw sensor data (analog) using a good old fashioned, analog input, RF transmitter?

Single chip controllers with embedded USB.
Still, far from trivial.

This is even using TCP with [PSH] and [ACK].
If you go UDP, you can easily double it.
