Product Description
The RF5924 FEM is a single integrated module for high-performance WLAN applica-
tions in the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz ISM band. The FEM has integrated b/g power ampli-
fier, power detector, RX balun, and TX filtering. Also, it is capable of switching
between WLAN RX, WLAN TX and BTH RX/TX operations. It has low insertion loss at
the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz WLAN and BTH paths. The device is provided in a
3.5mmx3.5mm, 16-pin package. This module meets or exceeds the RF front-end
needs of 802.11b/g WLAN RF systems.
