The SKY85803 is a complete 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN RF Front-End Module (FEM) that provides all the functionality of the Power Amplifiers (PAs), filtering, power detector, transmit/receive (T/R) switch, diplexers, and associated matching.
The device provides a complete 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz WLAN RF solution from the output of the transceiver to the antenna in an ultra-compact form factor. The SKY85803 delivers < 2% EVM at rated AC power, which meets the stringent linearity conditions of the 802.11ac standard.
Designed for ease of use, all RF ports are matched to 50 Ohm to simplify PCB layout and the interface to the transceiver. The device also includes a transmitter power detector with 20 dB of dynamic range for each transmit chain. Each PA has a separate digital enable control for transmitter on/off control. The power ramp rise/fall time is < 0.4 μs.
