Front-End Modules

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 SKY68031-11 is a hybrid, multi-band multi-chip RF front-end (RFFE) module supporting LTE-M/NB-IoT transceiver platforms. The module integrates the entire RF front end necessary for an LTE multi-band radio operating in low-band and mid-band frequencies.

Qorvo offers the QPF4530 integrated front end module (FEM) for Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) systems. The QPF4530 integrates a 5 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 its application.

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.

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.

The NW-RF-GPS-FE is a satellite terminal RF front end module designed to provide 20 Watts of RF power to boost the performance of data links in a number of applications including GPS, RF telemetry, unmanned systems and vehicles, satellite terminals, and software defined radios. This high-performance RF front end is a powerful combination of the NuPower 13G05A RF power amplifier, low noise figure LNAs, a high isolation diplexer between the transmit and receive paths, and band-reject filters.

QPF4209 is a Wi-Fi 7 front end module that integrates a PA, SP2T switch, and LNA. It offers optimized performance, low power consumption, and a compact design.
