This paper presents a high-power monolithic SOI-CMOS Front End-Module (FEM) supporting Wi-Fi 6/6E signals at 2.4GHz. The FEM includes an SP4T antenna switch, a power amplifier (PA), a low noise amplifier (LNA) with bypass mode, and a digital controller. The RX path achieves 15dB of power gain with l...
