Front-End Modules

Qorvo offers a front end module (FEM) and two low noise amplifiers (LNAs) designed specifically for Wi-Fi applications such as access points and wireless routers.

Skyworks'  5 GHz WLAN Front-End Modules are highly efficient, highly integrated, 5 GHz front-end module (FEM) incorporating a 5 GHz single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) transmit/receive (T/R) switch, a 5 GHz low-noise amplifier (LNA) with bypass, and a 5 GHz power amplifier (PA) intended for 802.11ax applications and systems.

Qorvo offers the new QPB9318 highly integrated front-end module with operation in the 2.3 – 2.8 GHz frequency range for TDD base station, wireless infrastructure, small cell BTS, and pre-5G/5G massive MIMO applications. This LNA module integrates a two-stage LNA and a high power switch in a dual-channel configuration.

The SKYA21043 is a highly integrated, 5 GHz front-end module (FEM) designed specifically for 802.11p V2V and V2X applications. The module incorporates a 5 GHz single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) transmit/receive (T/R) switch, a 5 GHz high-gain low-noise amplifier (LNA) with bypass, and a 5 GHz power amplifier (PA) intended for high-power 802.11p applications and systems.

The QPF1003Q is an integrated front-end module (FEM) designed for multi-standard systems such as C-V2X, DSRC/11p, and Wi-Fi. The QPF1003Q integrates a 5 GHz power amplifier (PA), TX/RX Antenna switch and bypassable low noise amplifier (LNA) into a single device. The compact form factor and integrated matching ideally minimizes layout area in automotive applications.

Qorvo introduces the new QPM1002 GaN MMIC front-end module (FEM) designed specifically for X-band radar applications in the 8.5 – 10.5 GHz frequency range. Combining a T/R switch, low-noise amplifier, and a power amplifier, this device delivers a small signal gain of 33 dB, delivers 3 W of saturated power, and 25 dB of large signal gain.

Qorvo offers the QPF4551 integrated front end module (FEM) for Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) systems. With a compact form factor and integrated matching, this module minimizes the layout area required for its application. It is ideally used for access points, wireless routers, residential gateways, residential gateways, premise equipment, and Internet of Things applications.

The Qorvo® QPF4211 is an integrated medium power front end module (FEM) designed for Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) systems. The small form factor and integrated matching minimizes layout area in the application.
