The module is internally matched to 50 ohms on input and output ports requiring no external RF matching components. The low profile 3.0 x 3.0 x 0.55 mm package minimizes PCB area making it ideal for MIMO applications. The PA provides industry leading linearity across the full frequency band under 802.11a/n modulation standards. The power detector is temperature compensated on chip enabling a single ended output voltage with excellent accuracy over a wide range of operating temperatures. The PA is biased with a single 3.3V supply and consumes ultra low current in the off mode. The AWL9555 is manufactured using advanced InGaP HBT technology that offers state-of-the-art performance, reliability, temperature stability and ruggedness.
