Qorvo FEM for WiFi7

The Qorvo QPF4209 is an integrated front end module (FEM) designed for Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) systems. The small form factor and integrated matching minimizes layout area in the application.

Performance is focused on optimizing the PA for a 5V supply voltage that minimizes power consumption to allow for systems that use digital pre-distortion to achieve the highest linear output power and leading edge throughput for the RF chain.

Qorvo FEM for WiFi7A coupler with RF output is integrated for DPD feedback training. For power control a broad range, constant slope voltage logarithmic power detector is provided for application feedback.

The QPF4209 integrates a 2.4 GHz power amplifier (PA), single pole two throw switch (SP2T) and bypassable low noise amplifier (LNA) into a single device.
