AFEM-S106
5 GHz WiFi FEM
Data Sheet
Description
Features
Avago Technologies AFEM-S106 WiFi FEM includes power 50 Ω all RF ports
amplifier, directional coupler, power detector and SPDT
Integrated directional coupler, -17 dB coupling factor,
antenna switch. It is designed for mobile and fixed wireless
data applications in the 5.1 to 5.9 GHz frequency ranges.
The PA is optimized for IEEE 802.11 a/n WiFi modulation.
> 14 dB directivity
Integrated power detector
The PA exhibits flat gain and good match while providing High Tx – Rx switch isolation
linear power efficiency to meet stringent mask conditions.
It utilizes Avago Technologies proprietary GaAs Enhance-
ment-mode pHEMT technology for superior performance
3 to 4.2V supply
Small size: 3.2 x 3.2 x 0.6 mm
across voltage and temperature levels.
Stable under all loads or conditions
Gain of 28dB
The AFEM-S106 is packaged in a 3.2 x 3.2 x 0.6 mm size for
space-constrained applications.
Meets 802.11a/n emission mask requirements
