Cascaded, they deliver 18dBm (Typ) output power for the
typical DSSS signal (ACPR, 1st Side Lobe < -30dBc, 2nd
Side Lobe < -50dBc).
In addition, the device includes a 2.4GHz detector which is
accurate over a 15dB dynamic range within (±)1dB.
Therefore, an accurate ALC function can be implemented.
Applications
• IEEE802.11 1, 2 or 5.5Mbps Standard
• Systems Targeting IEEE802.11b, 11Mbps Standard
• Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN)
• PCMCIA Wireless Transceivers
The ISL3984 is housed in a 16 lead MLFP package well
suited for PCMCIA board applications.
• ISM Systems Including Automatic Level Control (ALC)
• TDMA Packet Protocol Radios
