Maxim Introduces the MAX2839AS, the Industry’s First Single-Chip, 2.3GHz to 2.7GHz, WiMAX MIMO RF Transceiver in a 3.5mm x 5.1mm WLP (Wafer-Level Package)

The MAX2839AS is the industry’s first single-chip, 2.3GHz to 2.7GHz, WiMAX™ MIMO RF transceiver in a 3.5mm x 5.1mm WLP (wafer-level package). This device builds on the success of the MAX2839 (QFN package), enabling ultra-small WiMAX modules for compact fixed and mobile applications. Using a dual-receiver architecture to mitigate RF channel fading by as much as 10dB compared to a single-receiver architecture, the transceiver maximizes data throughput in nomadic and mobile WiMAX subscriber applications such as notebook computers, express/PC cards, USB dongles, smartphones, and in-home desktop CPE modems. The MAX2839AS is ideal for mobile WiMAX, Korean WiBro™, and other OFDM-based wireless broadband systems. Designed using Maxim’s high-performance SiGe BiCMOS process, the MAX2839AS provides the industry’s best receiver noise performance…
