11. GRAPHS The following graphs are only for a typical sample measured on a SA2411 test board under nominal condition applying an 11Mb/s CCK 802.11b modulation. Corrections for input, output and supply losses have been applied. The dotted lines represent the low gain mode. The solid lines are for the high gain mode.

Philips Semiconductors +20 dBm single chip linear amplifier for WLAN The last 5 curves are characterization data for supply voltage, temperature and power. The worst-case scenario is the combination of highest temperature/lowest supply. The best-case scenario is the combination of lowest temperature and highest supply voltage. The data has been taken using a non-modulated carrier at 2.5 GHz.
