Using the MAX2830 RF transceiver, the design is capable of accommodating full range of 802.11g OFDM data rates (6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54Mbps) and 802.11b QPSK data rates (1, 2, 5.5, and 11Mbps). This solution offers high performance, small size, and low BOM cost. Figure 1. The WLAN reference design features the MAX2830 RF transceiver.

Detailed Description This reference design is suitable for the full range of 802.11g OFDM data rates (6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54Mbps) and 802.11b QPSK data rates (1, 2, 5.5, and 11Mbps) at corresponding sensitivity levels. Using the MAX2830 chipset eliminates the need for external SAW filters, a RF switch, and a PA. Only a RF filter, RF balun, and a small number of passive components are required to form a complete 11b/g WLAN RF front-end solution that delivers high performance in a small PCB form-factor.
