Front-End Modules

The RF5755 provides a complete integrated solution in a single Front End Module (FEM) for WLAN 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth® systems. The ultra small form factor and integrated matching greatly reduces the number of external components and layout area in the customer application. This simplifies the total Front End solution by reducing the bill of materials, system footprint, and manufacturability cost. The RF5755 integrates a 2.4GHz Power Amplifier (PA), Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), power detector coupler for improved accuracy, and some filtering for harmonic rejection. The RF5755 is capable of receiving WLAN and Bluetooth® simultaneously. The device is provided in a 3mmx3mmx0.5mm, 16-pin package. This module meets or exceeds the RF Front End needs of IEEE 802.11b/g/n WLAN RF systems.

The RF5608 is a single-chip dual-band integrated front-end module (FEM) for high-performance WLAN applications in the 2.5GHz and 5GHz ISM bands. The RF5608 addresses the need for aggressive size reduction for a typical 802.11a/b/g RF front-end design and greatly reduces the number of components outside of the core chipset therefore minimizing the footprint and assembly cost of the overall 802.11a/b/g solution.

The Avago ALM-1912 is a GPS front-end module that combines a GPS FBAR filter with High-gain Low-noise amplifier (LNA). The LNA uses Avago's proprietary GaAs enhancement-mode pHEMT process to achieve high gain with very low noise figure and high linearity.

Qorvo presents a new series of high-linearity 2.5 GHz Front-End Modules (FEMs) built for automotive Wi-Fi applications, 802.11b/g/n, and Bluetooth^® systems. These devices feature integrated b/g/n power amplifiers, directional power detectors, RX balun, and TX filtering. Each FEM contains an ultra-small form factor and integrated matching that greatly reduces the number of external components and layout area in the customer application.

Qorvo offers the new QPB9318 highly integrated front-end module with operation in the 2.3 – 2.7 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 SKY66101-11 RF and SE2435L are front-end modules (FEMs) designed specifically for industrial, scientific, medical (ISM) band applications with operation in the 902-928 MHz, or 860-930 MHz frequency range. These devices feature a fully matched 50 Ω input and output, and RF blocks that operate over a 2.0-4.8 V range for use in a wide range of battery powered applications.

The RF3482 FEM is a single-chip integrated front end module (FEM) for high-performance WLAN applications in the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz ISM band.

The SKY66111-11 is a highly integrated front-end module (FEM) from Skyworks operating in the 2.4 to 2.485 GHz frequency range. It features low power consumption of 10 mA at 10 dBm, Rx bypass and supply operation from 1.8 to 5 V, and comes in a 20-pin MCM 3.3 x 3.0 x 0.8 mm package.
