Front-End Modules

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 SKY85772-11 as a highly integrated 5 GHz front-end module (FEM) designed for portable 802.11ax applications and systems. Features include a fully matched input and output, integrated logarithmic power detector and directional coupler, a transmit gain of 32 dB, and a receive gain of 15 dB.

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.

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 QPF1003Q is an integrated front-end module (FEM) designed for multi-standard systems such as C-V2X, DSRC/11p, and Wi-Fi. The QPF1003Q integrates a 5 GHz power amplifier (PA), TX/RX Antenna switch and bypassable low noise amplifier (LNA) into a single device. The compact form factor and integrated matching ideally minimizes layout area in automotive applications.

Qorvo offers a front end module (FEM) and two low noise amplifiers (LNAs) designed specifically for Wi-Fi applications such as access points and wireless routers.

The SKY53759-11 is a highly integrated LNA filter module that enables users to support new 5G New Radio (NR) bands in the 3.3 to 4.2 GHz frequency ranges.

The SKY85780-11 is a highly integrated, front-end module (FEM) incorporating a single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) transmit/receive (T/R) switch, a high-gain low-noise amplifier (LNA) with bypass, and a power amplifier (PA) for high-power WiFi 6E applications and systems.
