WLAN 802.11 Power Amplifiers

Application:

2.4/5 GHz 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN Power Amplifier


Description:

The ANADIGICS AWL6951 dual band power amplifier is a high performance InGaP HBT power amplifier module designed for transmit applications in the 2.4-2.5 GHz and 4.9-5.9 GHz band. Matched to 50 Ω at all RF inputs and outputs, the part requires no additional RF matching components off-chip, making the AWL6951 the world’s simplest dual band PA module implementation available. The PA exhibits unparalleled linearity and efficiency for IEEE 802.11g, 802.11b and 802.11a WLAN systems under the toughest signal configurations within these standards.

The power detectors are temperature compensated on chip, enabling separate single-ended output voltages for each band with excellent accuracy over a wide range of operating temperatures. The PA is biased by a single +3.3 V supply and consumes ultralow current in the OFF mode. The AWL6951 is manufactured using advanced InGaP HBT technology that offers state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability and ruggedness.
