Abstract :
A single-chip IEEE 802.11g-compliant WLAN radio that implements all RF, analog, and digital PHY and MAC functions is implemented in a 0.18 μm CMOS technology. The IC transmits 4 dBm EVM-compliant output power for a 64QAM OFDM signal. The overall receiver sensitivities are -95 dBm and -73 dBm for data rates 6 Mbit/s and 54 Mbit/s, respectively.
