Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
baseband processor is part of the
• Processing Gain. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . FCC Compliant
• Programmable Data Rate. . . . . . . . 1, 2, 5.5, and 11Mbps
• Ultra Small Package. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 x 10mm
• Single Supply Operation (44MHz Max) . . . . . 2.7V to 3.6V
• Modulation Methods. . . . . . . . DBPSK, DQPSK, and CCK
• Supports Full or Half Duplex Operations
PRISM® 2.4GHz WLAN Chip Set,
and contains all the functions necessary for a full or half
duplex packet baseband transceiver.
The HFA3861B has on-board A/D’s and D/A for analog I and
Q inputs and outputs, for which the HFA3783 IF QMODEM is
recommended. Differential phase shift keying modulation
schemes DBPSK and DQPSK, with data scrambling
capability, are available along with Complementary Code
Keying to provide a variety of data rates. Built-in flexibility
allows the HFA3861B to be configured through a general
purpose control bus, for a range of applications. Both
Receive and Transmit AGC functions with 7-bit AGC control
obtain maximum performance in the analog portions of the
transceiver. The HFA3861B is housed in a thin plastic quad
flat package (TQFP) suitable for PCMCIA board
• On-Chip A/D and D/A Converters for I/Q Data (6-Bit,
22MSPS), AGC, and Adaptive Power Control (7-Bit)
• Targeted for Multipath Delay Spreads ~50ns
• Supports Short Preamble Acquisition
• Supports Antenna Diversity
