Front-End Modules

The RF6505 3.3V, 2.4GHz Front End Module integrates a complete solution in a single Front End Module (FEM) for WLAN and ZigBee® applications in the 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz band. This FEM integrates the PA plus harmonic filter in the transmit path and the LNA with bypass mode in the receive side. It provides a single balanced TDD access for RX and TX paths along with two ports on the output for connecting a diversity solution or a test port.

Qorvo introduces the new QPM2637 GaN MMIC front-end module (FEM) designed specifically for X-band radar applications in the 9 – 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 21 dB of large signal gain.

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.

Skyworks offers the SKY85712-21 as a highly-integrated, 5 GHz front-end module comprised of a 5 GHz single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) transmit/receive switch, a 5 GHz low noise amplifier with bypass, and a 5 GHz power amplifier. The module is ideal for 802.11 ac networking, personal computer systems, and WLAN enabled wireless systems.

The ANGP-F001 combines a low-noise amplifier (LNA) with a GNSS FBAR pre-LNA filter. This module features a very low noise figure, a CMOS compatible shutdown pin (SD), advanced GaAs E-pHEMT and FBAR technology, exceptional Cell/DCS/PCS/WLAN-Band rejection, and more.

The SKY68000-31 is a hybrid, dual-band multi-chip RF front-end (RFFE) module supporting cellular LTE-M/NB-IoT (half-duplex system) transceiver platforms. The module integrates the entire RF front end necessary for an LTE dual-band radio operating in Band 13 and Band 4 including Rx SAW filters, dual-band PA with bias controller, Tx low-pass harmonic filter, antenna switch, and MIPI RFFE controller.

The SKY65377-11 is a transmit/receive (T/R) front-end module designed to provide a complete T/R train with T/R switches. Mounted in a 28-pin, 6x6mm Multi-Chip Module (MCM) surface-mount technology package, this device provides a highly manufacturable low-cost solution for many transmit/receive applications.

The SKY66405-11 is a 2.4 GHz fully integrated RF front-end module (FEM) designed to deliver high performance for ZigBee, Thread, and Bluetooth applications such as in smart thermostats, in-home appliances, IoT devices, smart lighting, sensors, wireless audio, and range extenders.
