The Qorvo® QPF4657 is an integrated front end module (FEM) designed for Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) systems. The compact form factor and integrated matching minimizes layout area in the application.

Performance is focused on optimizing the PA for a 5V supply voltage that conserves power consumption while maintaining the highest linear output power and leading edge throughput.  This is done across a wide bandwidth enabling operation in all channels from UNII5-8 (5.9 to 7.1GHz).

Integrated die level filtering for 2nd and 3rd harmonics as well as 2.4 GHz rejection for DBDC operation are included.  A coupler with RF output as well as a broadrange, constant slope voltage logarithmic power detector is provided for application feedback.

The QPF4657 integrates a 6-7 GHz power amplifier (PA), single pole two throw switch (SP2T) and bypassable low noise amplifier (LNA)  into a single device.
