STLC8201 - ST Microelectronics

STLC8201 Dual Band Wireless Lan Baseband Processor

■ ■ The STMicroelectronics STLC8201 wireless LAN baseband processor is an integrated Medium Access Controller and Physical Layer Processor. It is designed to directly interface with STMicroelectronics's STLC8100 RF transceiver, and with 3rd party power amplifiers to provide a complete wireless LAN solution compliant with IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and IEEE8.

Features

Tri Mode 802.11a, 802.11g and 802.11b compliant. AgileRF allows fully automated roaming between different modes. Implements data rates of 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps in 802.11a and 802.11g modes, using an advanced OFDM processor with channel equalizer. Implements data rates of 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbps in 802.11b mode, using advanced RAKE and decision feedback equalization. Improved PA efficiency using digital predistortion linearization and active bias control. Gain and Phase imbalance correction improves Rx sensitivity. Supports receive antenna diversity for both bands Supports 802.11b .
