2.3 GHz to 2.7 GHz, Receiver Front End

The ADRF5532 is an integrated RF, front-end multichip module designed for time division duplex (TDD) applications. The device operates from 2.3 GHz to 2.7 GHz. The ADRF5532 is configured with a low-noise amplifier (LNA) and a high-power, silicon, single pole double throw (SPDT) switch.

In the receive operation at 2.6 GHz, the LNA offers a low noise figure (NF) of 1.2 dB and a high gain of 35.5 dB with a third order input intercept point (IIP3) of −4 dBm.

In the transmit operation, the switch provides a low insertion loss of 0.7 dB and handles a long-term evolution (LTE) average power of 36.5 dBm for a full lifetime operation (8 dB peak to average ratio (PAR)) and 39 dBm for a single event (<10 sec) LNA protection operation.

The device is featured in an RoHS compliant, compact, 5 mm × 3 mm, 24-lead LFCSP package.
