Qorvo QPF4530 5GHz Wi-Fi® Front End Module
Qorvo QPF4530 5GHz Wi-Fi® Front End Module is a highly integrated device designed for Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) applications. The QPF4530 Front End Module (FEM) combines a 5GHz power amplifier (PA), regulator, single-pole two-throw switch (SP2T), and a bypassable low noise amplifier (LNA) into a single device. The QPF4530 features a compact form factor and integrated matching, minimizing layout area in the application.
The performance of the QPF4530 is focused on optimizing the PA for a 3.3V supply voltage that conserves power consumption while maintaining the highest linear output power and leading edge throughput. Receive path matches the optimal technologies to maximize Rx sensitivity through noise figure performance that is consistent over a wider variety of conditions.
The receive path of the QPF4530 is pinned out, so external filtering can be added in the optimal position. Integrated die-level filtering for second and third harmonics, as well as 2.4GHz rejection for DBDC operation, are included. A DC power detector that has voltage output provides feedback for close-loop applications.
