The WL54040 is designed to form a complete Agere IEEE 802.11a/b/g chip set in combination with the WL64040 multimode baseband processor, the WL60040 WMAC, and the WL54240 dual-band power amplifier. The WL54040 is designed in 0.25 m BiCMOS technology. It is capable of automatically switching between low intermediate-frequency conversion (low-IF) for OFDM and direct down conversion for DSSS/CCK modulation, enabling the device to achieve optimal throughput for all of the IEEE 802.11 standards. Specifically, low-IF conversion guards against dynamic range degradation, an inherent limitation of direct-down OFDM architectures, to provide improved system performance.
