From Anaren, Inc.

This is a users manual to assist engineers in the use of Anaren's A2500R24A and A2500R24C surface mount "AIR" modules, which incorporate TI CC2500 low-power RF chip technology and include an integrated crystal, internal voltage regulator, matching circuitry and filtering. The A2500R24A has an integral antenna,
whereas the A2500R24C takes an external antenna through a U.FL connector. The modules operate in the US 2.4GHz ISM band. These radio modules are ideal for achieving low power wireless connectivity without having to deal with extensive RF, antenna
design and regulatory compliance, allowing quick time to market. The modules are 100% tested to provide consistent performance.

Delay Lines
Delay lines are devices used to slow down a signal by a time interval in an electrical network. There are two basic delay line technologies: passive and active. 
I/Q Modulators and I/Q Demodulators
I/Q modulators and I/Q demodulators change the amplitude, frequency, or phase of a carrier signal in order to transmit information. I/Q modulators split an incoming data stream into its in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) components, mix the resulting signals with local oscillators that are 90º apart in phase, and then combine the outputs vectorially in a 0º mixer.
RF Phase Detectors and Comparators
RF phase detectors and comparators are circuits or instruments that provide a DC output voltage proportional to the difference in phase between two RF signals.
RF Isolators and RF Circulators
RF isolators and RF circulators are passive devices used to control the propagation of an RF signal.
RF Receivers
RF receivers are electronic devices that enable a particular radio signal to be separated from all others being received and converted into a format for video, voice, or data.
