ABSTRACT:
A wireless local area network system comprises a 5.0+ GHz radio transceiver with two receiving antennas and one transmitting antenna. A transmitter power amplifier output is connected to the transmitting antenna through a 6-8 pole filter to control spurious signal output. Each receiving antenna is fitted with its own low-noise amplifier followed by a simple bandpass filter. Each bandpass filter feeds a diversity switch with a single output to a single receiver. The radio system constitutes a physical-layer (PHY) part of a wireless local-area network.
