Qorvo QPF4658 Wi-Fi® 6E Front End Module

Qorvo QPF4658 Wi-Fi® 6E Front End Module is an integrated front-end module (FEM) designed for Wi-Fi 6 and 6E (802.11ax) systems. The compact form factor and integrated matching minimize the 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 optimization 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 and 2.4GHz rejection for DBDC operation are included. A coupler with RF output and a broad range, constant slope voltage logarithmic power detector is provided for application feedback. The Qorvo QPF4658 integrates a 6-7GHz power amplifier (PA), single pole two throw switch (SP2T), and bypassable low noise amplifier (LNA) into a single device.
