DATA SHEET SKY69-: WLAN 8.b, g, n Intera Front-End Module Features. to. GHz operation Cardbus, mini PC, PCIe and AP applications POUT @.% EVM (OFDM): 8 dbm Gain: db Integrated PA, filters, directional detector and diversity switch Single supply voltage :. to.6 V Dual antennas Small, ultra thin package x x.9 mm Lead (Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant Description The SKY69- Intera FEM contains one complete. GHz transmit/receive chain in a compact RF front-end module optimized for single band.. GHz operation. The SKY69- includes a PA with integrated input filtering for.. GHz rejection, and temperature-compensated directional power detector with db dynamic range. Also included are low loss, high rejection harmonic filters and a diversity switch which provide high linearity in transmit and low loss in receive paths. The SKY69- is packaged in a lead (Pb)-free, RoHS-compliant laminate package, which measures 6 mm. NEW Skyworks offers lead (Pb)-free, RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)-compliant packaging.
