The FEIC is designed for WLAN transmit and receive applications in the 4.9 – 5.875 GHz band. Matched to 50 Ohms and DC blocked at all RF inputs and outputs, the part requires no additional RF matching components off-chip. The antenna port is switched between WLAN transmit and WLAN receive with low loss switches. The integrated power detector circuit facilitates accurate power control under varying load conditions. All circuits are biased by a single +3.6 V supply and consume ultra low current in the OFF mode. The PA exhibits unparalleled linearity and efficiency for 802.11a/n/ac WLAN systems under the toughest signal conditions within these standards. The AWL9581 is manufactured using advanced InGaP HBT technology that offers state-of-the-art performance, reliability, temperature stability and ruggedness.
