Qorvo's RF Fusion recognized with GTI Award for outstanding contribution to worldwide 4G TD-LTE ecosystem

At the Global TD-LTE Initiative's GTI Summit 2016 (a partner event at Mobile World Congress 2016) in Barcelona, Spain on 23 February, Qorvo Inc (which provides core technologies and RF solutions for mobile, infrastructure and defense applications) says that its RF Fusion portfolio of high-band (HB) modules has received the GTI 2015 Award for 'Outstanding Contribution on Innovative Technical Product'.

The firm notes that its expanding portfolio of high-performance RF Fusion HB modules satisfies rapidly evolving customer requirements related to high-frequency LTE bands in fully integrated, compact front-end placements.

The GTI is an open global association of operators and vendors founded in 2011 to communicate and collaborate for the sake of speeding the commercialization of TD-LTE. The GTI Awards program recognizes the industry's most outstanding contributions to the LTE industry and encourage the development of innovative products, solutions and applications. The Outstanding Contribution award is granted to the top offering in each category.

"Qorvo is committed to working closely with the GTI to develop tightly compact, high-performance solutions that simplify design complexity and reduce form factors in mobile devices while enabling higher output power for enhanced cell coverage," says Eric Creviston, president of Qorvo's Mobile Products group. "We will continue to leverage our expanding product and technology portfolio, including our comprehensive filter technology portfolio, to help accelerate the deployment of next-generation wireless technologies," he adds.

Qorvo's RF Fusion HB module portfolio addresses critical TD-LTE cellular bands while enabling FDD-LTE. The pin-to-pin compatible portfolio integrates support for bands 7, 30, 38, 40, and 41 and includes support for uplink carrier aggregation. The expanding RF Fusion high-band portfolio consists of the QM78064 with integrated band 7 duplexer and antenna switch; the QM75001 with integrated band 41 wideband filter and uplink carrier aggregation support; and the TQF6297H with integrated band 41 narrowband filter.

The QM78064 is optimized for global flagship smartphones, while the QM75001 and TQF6297H are optimized for regional and super-regional LTE devices. Each product leverages the firm's proprietary LowDrift BAW filter technology to reduce insertion loss and enable Wi-Fi coexistence. The RF Fusion portfolio roadmap will also support Class 2 output power to increase band 41 cell coverage by compensating for propagation loss.

Qorvo is showcasing its expanding portfolio of RF solutions for smartphones, tablets and other high-performance mobile data devices at the 2016 GSMA Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain (22-25 February).
