Description

SKY77548 is a transmit and receive Front-End Module (FEM) with Integrated Power Amplifier Control (iPAC™) for Dual-band cellular handsets comprising GSM850/900 and DCS1800/PCS1900 operation. Designed in a low profile, compact form factor, the SKY77548 offers a complete Transmit VCO-to Antenna and Antenna-to-Receive SAW filter solution. The FEM also supports Class 12 General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) multi-slot operation.
