It is also designed to Systems meet IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11n, IEEE802.16e (4.9GHz to 5.850GHz Portable Battery-Powered only) WiMax, FCC, and ETSI requirements for operation in the 4.9GHz to Equipment 5.850GHz band. The device is manufactured on an advanced InGaP GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor process, and has been designed for use Spread-Spectrum and MMDS as the final RF amplifier in 5GHz WiFi and other spread-spectrum trans- Systems mitters. The device is provided in a QFN, 16-pin, 3mmx3mmx0.45mm, leadless chip carrier with backside ground. The RF5616 operates from a single supply and will be easily incorporated into WiFi and other designs with minimal external components.
