The SST12LF03 is a fully integrated Front-End Module (FEM) for WLAN 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth® systems. The SST12LF03 RF modules includes a PA, a LNA,and an antenna switch, making it ideal for WLAN/BT embedded applications where small size and high performance are required. Designed in compliance with IEEE 802.11 b/g/n applications and based on GaAs PHEMT/HBT technology, the SST12LF03 operates within the frequency range of 2.4- 2.5 GHz with a very low DC-current consumption. The Transmitter chain has excellent linearity, typically 3% added EVM up to 19 dBm output power for 54 Mbps 802.11g operation, while meeting 802.11b spectrum mask at 22 dBm. The receiver chain provides a low noise amplifier and has options for simultaneous WLAN and Bluetooth operation.The SST12LF03 is offered in a 20-contact UQFN package.
