BTRX BTALL Vbt Vrx2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The ANADIGICS AWL9566 is a high performance Front End Integrated Circuit (FEIC) that incorporates a 5 GHz Power Amplifier, 5 GHz Low Noise Amplifier, 5 GHz SP2T RF Switch and 2 GHz SP3T RF switch. The FEIC is designed for WLAN transmit and receive applications in the 2.400 GHz to 2.485 GHz and 5.150 GHz to 5.850 GHz bands. Matched to 50 V at all RF . inputs and outputs, the part requires no additional RF matching components off-chip. The antenna ports are switched between WLAN transmit, WLAN receive, Bluetooth, and simultaneous WLAN and Bluetooth paths with low loss RF switches. The PA exhibits unparalleled linearity and efficiency for IEEE 802.11a/n WLAN systems under the toughest signal configurations within the standard.
