Wi-Fi diplexer

17 April 2013 Passive Components

STMicroelectronics has revealed a new chip for faster wireless networking with connected devices. The innovation aims to save designers space and power consumption, allowing more features and longer battery life.

The DIP2450 diplexer is used to connect a Wi-Fi IC to a single antenna, hence simplifying circuitry and saving printed circuit board space. It can also connect a Bluetooth IC to the same antenna. It measures 1,1 x 1,25 mm and supports the latest high-speed dual-band Wi-Fi standard (IEEE 802.11n), permitting multi-channel communications in the 5 GHz band, in addition to the established 2,4 GHz operation.
