 All currently supported implementations use the PA and LNA pins for controlling the FEM.

-Tx power split
+TX power split
 **************
 
 When an application requests a given transmission power, it wants to achieve that power at the antenna.
 Usually, the application does not know all hardware components, such as RF front-end modules, on the radio signal path.
 To achieve a specific value of transmission power at the antenna, every FEM implementation provides a dedicated API that calculates the PA gain and SoC output power combination that results in the requested power at the antenna.
-It also calculates a private setting value that is applied to the FEM which is needed to achieve the calculated PA gain.
+It also calculates a private setting value applied to the FEM that is needed to achieve the calculated PA gain.
 The meaning of this private setting is specific to each FEM implementation.
 
 FEM implementations with multiple PA gains available (for example, nRF21540 with MODE pin support) choose which gain to use based on hardware limitations and the requested power value.
 Alternatively, an external model can be used to determine the gain.
 
-Tx power split using models
+TX power split using models
 ===========================
 
-The Tx power split can be done using a model.
-This can be done to allow, for example, compensation of external conditions.
-The model can be an external model passed to MPSL or a built-in model.
+You can achieve the TX power split using a model, to compensate, for example, for external conditions.
+The model can be either external (passed to MPSL) or built-in.
 
-A built-in model is currently provided only for the nRF21540 GPIO SPI FEM implementation and it is in an experimental stage.
+A built-in model is currently provided only for the nRF21540 GPIO SPI FEM implementation and it is in an :ref:`experimental <nrf:software_maturity>` stage.
 The provided model allows for temperature, voltage, and frequency compensation.
 
-The model is passed to MPSL before FEM configuration, and contains two callbacks: ``fetch`` and ``init``.
-After it has finished configuration, MPSL calls ``init`` to pass all the calibration and configuration data required by the specific FEM implementation to the model and to initialize the model.
-Each time a Tx power split is needed, MPSL calls the ``fetch`` function and passes the frequency and the requested output power to the model.
