WLAN 802.11b/g SiGe power amplifier with good OFDM performance
( 01 Aug 2005 )
Atmel Corporation’s WLAN power amplifier meets the 802.11b/g standard and is manufactured using the company’s advanced Silicon Germanium (SiGe) technology. SiGe enables operation at a low supply voltage range (2.7 to 3.6V), making the new device particularly suited to battery-driven applications such as PDAs, smart phones, and notebook computers. Further applications include WLAN client cards for PCs and access points. The ATR7032 offers excellent performance: 32dB gain, a linear power output of 23dBm at 11Mbit/s CCK, and a low error vector magnitude (EVM) of 1.4% at an output power of 19dBm under 54Mbit/s OFDM conditions.
