The SE2579U is a complete 802.11 b/g/n WLAN RF front-end
module with a port suitable for Bluetooth® signals. The device
provides all the functionality of the power amplifier, power
detector, filter, switch, low noise amplifier, 2170 MHz notch filter
and associated matching. The SE2579U provides a complete 2.4
GHz WLAN RF solution from the output of the transceiver to the
antennas, and from the antennas to the input of the transceiver,
in an ultra-compact form factor.
The SE2579U is designed for ease of use, with all the critical
matching and harmonic filtering integrated, also offering a simple
50 Ω interface to the antenna.
The SE2579U includes a low noise amplifier to increase the
receive sensitivity of embedded solutions to improve range or to
overcome the insertion loss of cellular filters often included for
mobile applications. It offers simultaneous WLAN and receive
mode for a port suitable for Bluetooth® signals.
The SE2579U also includes a transmitter power detector with 20
dB of dynamic range and a digital enable control for transmitter
power ramp on/off control. The power ramp rise/fall time is 0.5
μS typical.
