Front-End Modules

Skyworks offers the SKY85337-11 highly-integrated, 2.4 GHz front-end module providing the functionality of a fully matched power amplifier (PA), power detector, harmonic filter, low-noise amplifier (LNA), and a single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switch. The module is ideal for 802.11 ac set-top boxes, networking, personal computer systems, and WLAN enabled wireless video systems.

The SKY85743-21 is a 5 GHz WLAN Front-End Module (FEM) that is highly integrated and ideal for indoor and outdoor 802.11ax networking systems, and WLAN-enabled wireless video streaming systems.

The SKY78113 SkyOne® Ultra 2.0 is a multimode multiband front-end module (FEM) designed for optimal performance in CDMA/WCDMA/HSPA/HSPA+/FDD LTE-modulated handsets for bands 26, 8, 12/17, 13, 20, 28, 29, BC0, and BC10. The RF input and output ports are internally matched to 50 ohms which minimizes the need for external components.

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.

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 SKY55501-11 as a highly integrated, 5 GHz front-end module (FEM) that supports simultaneous 5G WLAN and licensed assisted access (LAA) systems. It incorporates a 5 GHz low-noise amplifier (LNA) with bypass supporting 5G WLAN and LAA simultaneous RX reception, and a single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) transmit/receive (T/R) switch.

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 SE2435L and the SKY65378-11 are Skyworks’ high-powered and low-powered RF front-end modules (FEMs) designed specifically for industrial, scientific, medical (ISM) band applications with operation in the 860-930 MHz frequency range. These devices feature fully matched 50 W TX and RX inputs and antenna outputs, and RF blocks that operate over a 2.0-4.8 V range for use in a wide range of battery powered applications.
