Front-End Modules

The SKY66115-11 is an integrated front-end module (FEM) designed specifically for low-power range extension in industrial, smart meter, tracking, and RFID applications within the 400 to 510 MHz range. Features include +20 dBm transmit output power, 2.5 V to 3.6 V supply operation, and low power consumption.

Skyworks introduces SkyOne® LiTE, a highly integrated front-end solution for LTE mobile devices.  Building on Skyworks’ proven SkyLiTE™ architecture, this new platform incorporates advanced power amplifiers, proprietary duplexers, and innovative switching technology to support complex carrier aggregation combinations in a significantly reduced form factor. 

Avago Technologies’ GPS Filter-LNA-Filter Front-End Module: ALM-2712 is an ultra low-noise GPS front-end module that combines a low-noise amplifier (LNA) with GPS FBAR filters. The LNA uses Avago Technologies’ proprietary GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT process to achieve high gain with very low noise figure and high linearity.

The AFEM-7758-AF1 is a fully matched CDMA Front-End Module featuring the integration of Power Amplifier, Duplexer, Band-pass Filter and coupler.

The SKY66119-11 is a 460 MHz transmit/receive (T/R) front-end module designed to provide a complete T/R train with T/R switches. Mounted in a 28-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 infrastructure, ISM systems, and range extenders.

Skyworks offers the SKY66118-11 and the SKY66407-11, 2.4 GHz front-end modules (FEMs) for Bluetooth Internet of Things (IoT) applications including smartwatches, trackers, connected home systems, wireless and gaming headsets, and more.

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.

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.
