Until now I am using a nRF24L01 with johanson balun (2450BM14A0002) and MIFA.
I want to add a power amplifier to my nRF24L01 project. Can anyone give me advice which power amplifier should I use? Can I use a CC2592 or CC2590 from TI?</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Tue, 08 Dec 2015 10:40:20 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/10550/nrf24l01-pa" /><item><title>RE: nRF24L01+ PA</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/39258?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 08 Dec 2015 10:40:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:c01daab7-a084-407d-ab0e-373395c3eccd</guid><dc:creator>DimaV</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Håkon Alseth, thank you very much for your answer!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: nRF24L01+ PA</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/39257?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Dec 2015 09:38:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:e8d5c645-8a60-4a0e-a454-38559bd9fd2d</guid><dc:creator>H&amp;#229;kon Alseth</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi DimaV,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would not recommend using RF PAs with differential input. The reason for this is because our reference design BALUN has two jobs:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Filtering noise/harmonics&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;differential to single-ended impedance conversion.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You already have a BALUN from Johanson that does the above mentioned job, so you should choose a RF PA with 50 ohm single-ended input. There&amp;#39;s several threads on devzone discussing the topic of RF PAs, for instance this one:

&lt;p&gt;Cheers,
Håkon&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
