CYW43340
10.2 WLAN PHY Description
The CYW43340 WLAN Digital PHY is designed to comply with IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n single-stream to provide wireless LAN connectivity
supporting data rates from 1 Mbps to 150 Mbps for low-power, high-performance handheld applications.
The PHY has been designed to work with interference, radio nonlinearity, and impairments. It incorporates efficient implementations
of the filters, FFT and Viterbi decoder algorithms. Efficient algorithms have been designed to achieve maximum throughput and
reliability, including algorithms for carrier sense/rejection, frequency/phase/timing acquisition and tracking, channel estimation and
tracking. The PHY receiver also contains a robust IEEE 802.11b demodulator. The PHY carrier sense has been tuned to provide high
throughput for IEEE 802.11g/11b hybrid networks with Bluetooth coexistence. It has also been designed for shared single antenna
systems between WL and BT to support simultaneous RX-RX.
