It has analog power control for both bands as well as an on-chip power detector to compensate the variability of transmit gain. The WL54240 is designed to form a complete IEEE (R) 802.11a/b/g WLAN chip set in combination with the WL60040 multimode MAC, the WL64040 baseband, and the WL54040 transceiver. 2 Wireless LAN Applications ! High data-rate multimode applications. ! Client cards for notebooks, desktop PCs, and PDAs. ! Modules with WLAN functionality. ! Enterprise and home infrastructure devices. ! High-speed bridges and point-to-multipoint systems. ! Home entertainment and multimedia systems. The WL54240 is a dual-band and dual-mode power amplifier that combines the functionality of two devices (two frequency bands) in one package. This reduces the total board space required and reduces the total bill of materials to a minimum. Essential internal blocks can be used alternately by both amplifier path, providing optimum product synergy.
