The LX5506 is a power amplifier
designed for the FCC Unlicensed
National Information Infrastructure
(U-NII) band, HyperLAN2 and Japan
WLAN applications in the 4.9-5.95
GHz frequency range. The PA is
implemented
as
monolithic
microwave
circuit (MMIC) with active bias and
complete on-chip input matching. The
device is manufactured with an
InGaP/GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar
Transistor
(HBT)
(MOCVD). It operates at a single
positive voltage supply of 3.3V
(nominal), with +26dBm of P1dB and
up to 23dB power gain in the 5.15 -
5.85GHz frequency range with a
simple output matching capacitor pair.
a
three-stage
integrated
IC
process
For OFDM operation (64QAM,
54Mbps), the PA provides +18dBm
linear output power with a very low
EVM (Error-Vector Magnitude) of
3%, and consumes about 190mA total
DC current. At higher supply voltage
of 5V, the same device provides
+24dBm linear OFDM output power
with 5% EVM.
The LX5506 is available in a 16-pin
3mmx3mm micro-lead package (MLP).
The compact footprint, low profile, and
excellent thermal capability of the MLP
package makes the LX5506 an ideal
solution for broadband, high-gain
power amplifier requirements for IEEE
802.11a, and HiperLAN2 portable
WLAN applications.
