Front-End Modules

The SKY58101-11 Sky5 Multimode Multiband Tx-Rx Front- End Module (FEM) supports 2G/3G/4G/5G mobile devices and operates efficiently in 3G/4G/5G modes.

Qorvo’s integrated front end modules (FEMs) are included with a compact form factor and integrated matching that minimizes the layout area in Wi-Fi 802.11 a/n/ac and 802.11 b/g/n system applications. Their performance is focused on conserving power consumption while maintaining the highest linear output power and leading edge throughput.

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 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.

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.

he QPM2637 is a Gallium Nitride MMIC front-end module (FEM) designed for X-Band radar applications within the 9-10.5 GHz range. The MMIC combines a T/R switch, low-noise amplifier, and a power amplifier. The receive path has dual-outputs which offer 21dB gain and 2.7dB noise figure. The transmit path delivers 4W of saturated power with 23dB large signal gain. The FEM is robust up to 4W of input power into the ANT port eliminating the need for a limiter.

The SKY66408-11 is a high-performance, fully integrated RF front-end module (FEM) designed for Zigbee, Thread, and Bluetooth (including Low Energy) applications.

Qorvo offers the QPF4288 integrated front end module (FEM) for Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) systems. The QPF4530 integrates a 2.4 GHz power amplifier (PA), regulator, single pole two throw switch (SP2T), bypassable low noise amplifier (LNA) into a single device. With a compact form factor and integrated matching, this module minimizes the layout area required for an number of wireless and IoT applications.
