Session 7 Overview: Wireless Transceivers

8:30 AM 7.1 An 802.11ac Dual-Band Reconfigurable Transceiver Supporting up to Four VHT80 Spatial Streams with 116fsrms-Jitter Frequency Synthesizer and Integrated LNA/PA Delivering 256QAM 19dBm per Stream Achieving 1.733Gb/s PHY Rate T-M. Chen, MediaTek, Hsinchu, Taiwan In Paper 7.1, MediaTek describes a four 80MHz channel spatial stream WiFi 40nm CMOS SoC chip with integrated dual-band PAs, LNAs, and T/R switches. With the proposed RF architecture, a high output power of 22dBm for each spatial stream for 802.11ac Stage 2 VHT160 256QAM is achieved.
