TA0016 End RFIC RF2403: European Applications for RF2403 Cordless Telephone Front
A front end RFIC for cordless telephone applications has been developed for use in the 902MHz to 928MHz ISM (Industrial-Scientific-Medical) band in the United States under Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Potential applications for this RFIC in this frequency band include cordless telephones, wireless LANs, wireless security systems and point-of-sale (POS) terminals. This RFIC, the RF2403, consists of a single-stage LNA, a two-stage PA with 21dBm of output power and a transmit/receive switch. The RFIC is built using a commercial GaAs MESFET process, and is packaged in a SOP-16 narrowbody surface-mount package.
