Avago Technologies Releases Dual-band Wi-Fi Front End Module
(Top News, 20 Jun 2008)
Avago Technologies has developed a complete RF 802.11 a/b/g/n front end module that operates in the 2.4GHz and 4.9GHz to 5.9GHz frequency bands. Compatible with WLAN standards and optimized for MIMO (multiple-in, multiple out) applications, the fully integrated AFEM-9601 multi-function module is designed for portable and fixed devices that support IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n WLAN applications.
The device combines all front-end RF functions: dual linear power amplifiers, dual low-noise amplifiers, dual Tx/Rx switches, diplexer, Tx/Rx filtering and direct CMOS compatible control and detect and delivers over 17dBm output power to meet all 802.11 masks.
The device is rated at 3V and comes in a 4x6x1.5mm package.
