Front-End Modules

The QPF4010 is a high frequency, high performance MMIC front-end module targeted for 5G - n258 at 26 GHz phased array base stations and terminals. It is fabricated on Qorvo's 90 nm pHEMT production process and combines a low noise high linearity LNA, a low insertion-loss high-isolation TR switch, and a high-efficiency multi-stage PA.

The SKY85334-11 and SKY85750-11 are 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz front-end modules (FEMs) respectively, and compliment Skyworks' expansive portfolio of FEMs designed for growing retail, carrier and enterprise Wi-Fi 6 applications. The modules offer high linearity, low power dissipation, and efficiency for access points, routers and gateways where regulatory, thermals or Power-over-Ethernet limitations demand low current consumption. These highly integrated FEMs incorporate switching, low-noise amplifier (LNA) with bypass and power amplifier (PA) and are housed in a compact package. 

Skyworks offers the SKY85772-11 as a highly integrated 5 GHz front-end module (FEM) designed for portable 802.11ax applications and systems. Features include a fully matched input and output, integrated logarithmic power detector and directional coupler, a transmit gain of 32 dB, and a receive gain of 15 dB.

The RFFM8500Q is a 4.9GHz - 5.85GHz high-linearity Front End Module (FEM) integrated with a power amplifier (PA), a single pole double throw (SPDT) switch, an LNA and a power detector coupler to improve accuracy and meet RF front end needs for an IEEE 802.11 a/n WiFi system.

The QPF4559 is an integrated front end module (FEM) designed for Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) systems. The compact form factor and integrated matching minimizes layout area in the application.

The SKY66121-11 is a 169 – 170 MHz transmit/receive (T/R) front-end module designed to provide a complete T/R train with T/R switches. Mounted in a 16-pin, 6 x 6mm Multi-Chip Module (MCM) surface-mount technology package, this device provides a highly manufacturable low-cost solution for automated meter reading, advanced metering infrastructures, and ISM systems.

Qorvo offers the QPF4219 integrated front end module (FEM) for Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) systems. The QPF4219 integrates a 2.4 GHz power amplifier (PA), regulator, single pole two throw switch (SP2T), bypassable low noise amplifier (LNA) and DC power detector into a single device. With a compact form factor and integrated matching, this module minimizes the layout area required for its application.

The QPF4001 from Qorvo is a multi-function GaN MMIC front-end module (FEM) ideally utilized for 28 GHz phased array 5G base stations and terminals. This device operates over the 26 to 30 GHz frequency range, and combines a low noise, high linearity LNA, a low insertion loss, high isolation TR switch, and a high gain, high efficiency multi-stage PA.
