A simplified way of devising 5G phased arrays
We recently got a tour of Qorvo‘s new RF front-end module from Qorvo’as Bror Peterson and Keysight’s Osamu Kusanois. The module is said to be the world’s first 39-GHz front-end that integrates a power amp, low-noise amp, and switch in one small package. The module uses gallium nitride technology to get a high power density. […]
Qorvo first to be certified for Zigbee Green Power v1.1 multi-sensor and generic switch extension
Qorvo announced it has been awarded certification for the multi-sensor and generic switch features of Zigbee Green Power v1.1. These new features greatly expand the types of smart home sensors that can be powered by energy harvesting, eliminating the need for batteries or enabling ultra-long battery life. The multi-sensor extension to the Green Power specification significantly […]
High-efficiency 5-GHz front-end modules work with draft 802.11ax carrier gateway spec
Qorvo announced that its high efficiency 5GHz front-end module (FEM)QPF4528 is part of a new, commercially available draft 802.11ax carrier gateway. The new gateway, which integrates Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.’s IPQ807x family of 802.11ax chipsets, provides up to four times higher wireless networking throughput and better performance in bandwidth-intensive applications than previously deployed carrier gateways. The […]
Bulk acoustic wave filters make life easier for Wi-Fi front-end designers
BAW filters help overcome the biggest challenges facing Wi-Fi front-end designs, including thermal management, interference, and RF linearity. Cees Links |Qorvo Wireless Connectivity Smart homes are getting smarter. So they increasingly make heavy demands on their internet routers, so much so that traffic demands are exceeding the capacity of the single-router model. Retailers and businesses […]
801.11ax products maximize output power of in-home Wi-Fi signals efficiency, lower power consumption.
Qorvo is enabling the expansion of distributed Wi-Fi solutions in the home through a portfolio of 802.11ax products that improves Wi-Fi coverage, enables smaller devices and reduces costs. These products include Wi-Fi front-end modules, Wi-Fi BAW 2.4GHz bandedge and LTE coexistence filters, and Wi-Fi integrated front end modules (iFEMs). “In the last year, we have seen […]
802.11ax modules and BAW filters improve coverage, lower costs
The expanded, high-efficiency portfolio of 802.11ax integrated modules and advanced filters from Qorvo are designed to improve Wi-Fi coverage, enables smaller end products, and reduces costs for consumers, service providers and manufacturers. 802.11ax will greatly increase network capacity by supporting up to eight simultaneous data streams, each delivering up to 1.2 Gbps, to connect many more […]
Multi-channel IoT transceiver SoT gets Thread Protocol certification
Qorvo announced that its GP712 System-on-Chip is the first multi-channel Internet of Things (IoT) transceiver in the industry to be certified for the Thread protocol. With concurrent support for Thread and ZigBee on different RF channels, the GP712 enables designers to use a single transceiver on their gateway products to simultaneously serve both IEEE802.15.4 implementations. The […]
Quarter-watt balanced amplifier covers 2.3 – 2.7 GHz
The QPA9807 from Qorvo is a balanced amplifier module with embedded hybrid couplers to convert to single ended input and output ports. The module has an enable pin to allow for shutting down of the amplifier. The module requires minimal external components which are VCC choke inductors, decoupling caps and resistors for bias control. The […]
Half-watt balanced amplifier covers 600 to 1,000 MHz
The QPA9805 from Qorvo is a balanced amplifier module with embedded hybrid couplers to convert to single ended input and output ports. The module has an enable pin to allow for shutting down of the amplifier. The module requires minimal external components which are VCC choke inductors, decoupling caps. The QPA9805 provides +27.4 dBm P1dB […]
