1.2 Integrated Radio Transceiver
This Mini PCI module includes an integrated RF transceiver that has been
optimized for use in 2.4-GHz WLAN systems. It has been designed to provide low-
power, low-cost, and robust communications for applications operating in the
globally available 2.4-GHz unlicensed ISM band. With an external transmit power
amplifier, it develops full output power per the IEEE802.11b/g Specification.
1.3 Receiver Path
This Mini PCI module has a wide dynamic range, direct conversion receiver. It
employs high-order on-chip channel filtering to ensure reliable operation in the
noisy 2.4-GHz ISM band. The excellent noise figure of the receiver makes an
external LNA unnecessary.
