INTEGRATED CIRCUITS SA2400A Single chip transceiver for 2.45 GHz ISM band Product data 2002 Nov 04 Philips Semiconductors Philips Semiconductors Product data Single chip transceiver for 2.45 GHz ISM band SA2400A 1. DESCRIPTION The SA2400A is a fully integrated single IC RF transceiver designed for 2.45 GHz wireless LAN (WLAN) applications. It is a direct conversion radio architecture that is fabricated on an advanced 30 GHz fT BiCMOS process. The SA2400A combines a receiver, transmitter, and LO generation into a single IC. The receiver consists of a low-noise amplifier, down-conversion mixers, fully integrated channel filters, and an Automatic Gain Control (AGC) with an on-chip closed loop. The transmitter contains power ramping, filters, up-conversion, and pre-drivers. The LO generation is formed by an entirely on-chip VCO and a fractional-N synthesizer. Typical system performance parameters for the receiver are 93 dB gain, 7.5 dB noise figure, input-referred third-order intercept point (IIP3) of +1 dBm, AGC settling time of 8 µs, and Tx-to-Rx switching time of 3 µs. The transmitter typical system performance parameters are an output power range from –7 dBm to +8 dBm in 1 dB steps, –40 dBc carrier leakage after calibration, 22 dB sideband suppression, in-band common mode rejection of 30 dB, and Rx-to-Tx switching time of 3 µs. An I/Q upconverter from baseband directly to 2.45 GHz, with +8 dBm output power, –40 dBc typical carrier leakage (calibrated) and 3 µs (typi...
