Philips SA2400A
The SA2400A is a fully integrated single IC RF transceiver designed for 2.45 GHz wireless LAN (WLAN) applications. It is a direct conversion radio architecture that is fabricated on an advanced 30 GHz fT BiCMOS process. The SA2400A combines a receiver, transmitter, and LO generation into a single IC.DESCRIPTION
The receiver consists of a low-noise amplifier, down-conversion mixers, fully integrated channel filters, and an Automatic Gain Control (AGC) with an on-chip closed loop. The transmitter contains power ramping, filters, up-conversion, and pre-drivers. The LO generation is formed by an entirely on-chip VCO and a fractional-N synthesizer. Typical system performance parameters for the receiver are 93 dB gain, 7.5 dB noise figure, input-referred third-order intercept point (IIP3) of +1 dBm, AGC settling time of 8 µs, and Tx-to-Rx switching time of 3 µs. The transmitter typical system performance parameters are an output power range from –7 dBm to +8 dBm in 1 dB steps, –40 dBc carrier leakage after calibration, 22 dB sideband suppression, in-band common mode rejection of 30 dB, and Rx-to-Tx switching time of 3 µs.● An I/Q upconverter from baseband directly to 2.45 GHz, with +8 dBm output power, –40 dBc typical carrier leakage (calibrated) and 3 µs (typical) Rx to Tx switching t...
