MIMO and 802.11ac present several new challenges for next-generation handset designs. Qorvo’s mobile Wi-Fi portfolio offers complete RF solutions to address the rapid expansion of consumer and enterprise Wi-Fi, and to solve challenges raised by 802.11 implementation such as the transition from 1×1 SISO to 2×2 MIMO.
Powered by Qorvo’s LowDrift™ and NoDrift™ BAW filter technology, our mobile Wi-Fi portfolio comprises of:
- Dual-band integrated front end modules (iFEMs)
- 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz front end modules (FEMs)
- High-performance Wi-Fi coexistence filters
RF FUSION™ MOBILE WI-FI IFEM
The RF Fusion™ Mobile Wi-Fi iFEM (integrated front-end module) delivers industry-leading performance. The QM48184 provides a complete, dual-band integrated solution for Wi-Fi 802.11ac/a/b/g/n systems and uses Qorvo’s packaging technology to deliver a complete mobile Wi-Fi solution in a single package. The integrated Wi-Fi coexistence filter, diplexer and coupler achieves significant size reduction versus chip-on-board solutions, while delivering significant performance and size improvements.
- Dual-band power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers (LNAs) and switches for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels.
- Integrated Rx and harmonic filtering simplifies system-level requirements.
- On-chip power detector and coupler enables flexibility, ease of calibration, and closed-loop power control.
- All RF ports matched to 50 ohms.
- Option to be used in either 2×2 MIMO or 1×1 SISO applications.
