Front-End Modules

Skyworks introduces new shielded GPS low-noise amplifier front-end modules (FEMs), the SKY65725-11 and SKY65728-11, designed for use in mobile applications such as smartphones and tablets. Both devices feature high linearity, excellent gain, and superior noise figure to enable design flexibility and high levels of integration. Pre-filters provide the low in-band insertion loss and excellent rejections of the cellular, PCS, and WLAN frequency bands.

The SKY65713-11 and SKY65715-81 are global navigation front-end modules (FEM) with integrated low-noise amplifiers (LNA) and pre-filters designed for Beidou Global Positioning System/Global Navigation Satellite System (BDS/GPS/GNSS) receiver applications. These devices feature high linearity, excellent gain, a high 1 dB input compression point (IP1dB), and a superior noise figure.

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 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 SKY53761-11 is a highly integrated LNA filter module that enables users to support 5G New Radio (NR) bands in the 3.3 to 4.2 GHz frequency range.

Skyworks offers a family of LTE devices comprised of power amplifier modules and front-end modules for a suite of scalable and reconfigurable front-end system solutions for a variety of emerging communications markets.

The SKY58277-31 Front-End Module (FEM) for LTE and NR is a new addition to the Skyworks Sky5 portfolio of 5G technology products. This versatile and fully matched FEM supports ultra-high band 4G/5G and LTE/NR applications.

pSemi offers the PE53211 highly integrated front-end module targeted for wireless infrastructure applications such as TDD macro/micro base station, MIMO, 4G, 5G, or small cell applications. The dual-channel receiver integrates two independent LNAs with bypass function and a high-power switch. The module can operate across the 2.3 – 2.7 GHz frequency range with internal impedance matching networks.
