5.3 Radio

This section presents information describing the properties and characteristics of the ATWILC3000A, and Wi-Fi radio transmit and receive performance capabilities of the device.

The performance measurements are taken at the RF pin assuming 50Ω impedance; the RF performance is assured for a room temperature of 25°C with a derating of 2-3 dB at boundary conditions.

Note: Measured after RF matching network.
