GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADRF5532 is an integrated RF, front-end multichip module
designed for time division duplex (TDD) applications. The device
operates from 2.3 GHz to 2.7 GHz. The ADRF5532 is configured
with a low-noise amplifier (LNA) and a high-power, silicon, single
pole double throw (SPDT) switch.
In the receive operation at 2.6 GHz, the LNA offers a low noise
figure (NF) of 1.2 dB and a high gain of 35.5 dB with a third order
input intercept point (IIP3) of −4 dBm.
In the transmit operation, the switch provides a low insertion loss of
0.7 dB and handles a long-term evolution (LTE) average power of
36.5 dBm for a full lifetime operation (8 dB peak to average ratio
(PAR)) and 39 dBm for a single event (<10 sec) LNA protection
operation.
