Description
The SKY65233-11 Intera nFEM combines two complete 2.4 GHz
transmit/receive chains in one compact RF front end module
optimized for 2 x 2 MIMO (multiple in—multiple out) operation, in
compliance with the 802.11n draft standard. The SKY65233-11
includes two 2 GHz PAs, each with integrated input filtering for
3–4 GHz rejection, and two temperature-compensated, directional
power detectors with 20 dB dynamic range. Also included are
low loss, high rejection GaAs filters and diversity switches which
provide high linearity in all transmit paths and low loss in all
receive paths. Additionally, a third antenna port is added to provide
switch diversity capability on both chains. All RF ports are matched
to 50 Ω.
The SKY65233-11 Intera nFEM achieves outstanding gain
matching which is a critical requirement for MIMO operation. This
is accomplished though mirrored layout symmetry.
The SKY65233-11 is packaged in a lead (Pb)-free, RoHS-compliant
laminate package, which measures 140 mm². It is designed as a
pin-to-pin compatible version of SKY65230-11 for 2.4 GHz only.
