DESCRIPTION
LX5552 is a high-integration, high- +17dBm linear output power, with low
performance WLAN front-end module total EVM (<3%) for 64QAM/ 54Mbps
(FEM) for 802.11b/g/n and other OFDM. Both gain and power are
applications in the 2.4-2.5GHz readily measured at antenna port with
frequency range. LX5552 integrates a the insertion loss of the Tx switch
fully matched InGaP/GaAs Hetero- included.
