operating in the globally available 2.4-GHz unlicensed ISM band. With
an external transmit power amplifyier, it develops full output power per
the IEEE802.11b/g Specification.
1.3 Receiver Path
This CF module has a wide dynamic range, direct conversion receiver. It
employs high-order on-chip channel filtering to ensure reliable operation
in the noisy 2.4-GHz ISM band. The excellent noise figure of the receiver
makes an external LNA unnecessary.
Leading-edge Encore DSP technology improves the receive sensitivity
and extended range, that enables whole home coverage.
1.4 Transmitter Path
This CF module includes a linear transmitter capable of delivering up to
+6 dBm while meeting the IEEE802.11g specification. The output power
is adjustable in 0.6-dB steps, down to –15 dBm. Baseband data is
up-converted directly to the 2.4-GHz ISM band.
1.5 Calibration
This CF module enables the device to be used in high-volume
applications because calibration routines are not required during
manufacturing test. These calibration routines are performed periodically
in the course of normal radio operation.
