Qorvo powering multiple smartphones with full suite of RF Fusion front-ends
Qorvo Inc of Greensboro, NC, USA (which provides core technologies and RF solutions for mobile, infrastructure and defense applications) says that multiple leading and emerging smartphone makers have selected complete reference platforms of its RF Fusion split-band solutions to support the launch of performance-tier smartphones.
RF Fusion RF front-end (RFFE) solutions integrate Qorvo’s premium filters, high-throw-count switches and multi-mode, multi-band power amplifiers to deliver full coverage of high, mid and low cellular frequency bands.
“Manufacturers of performance-tier smartphones are increasingly adopting the full suite of Qorvo’s high-, mid- and low-band RF Fusion solutions to solve RF complexity, meet carrier certification requirements, achieve launch schedules, and better manage inventories across geographies,” says Eric Creviston, president of Qorvo’s Mobile Products group.
High-band RF Fusion solutions support the emerging Power Class 2/high-performance user equipment (HPUE) LTE requirement. Additionally, RF Fusion solutions comprise what is claimed to be the only complete reference platform to support all leading envelope-tracking-capable cellular chipsets.
