Qorvo wins smartphone designs with new mobile Wi-Fi solutions
Qorvo Inc of Greensboro, NC, USA (which provides core technologies and RF solutions for mobile, infrastructure and defense applications) says that multiple leading smartphone makers have selected its newest RF Fusion mobile Wi-Fi integrated front-end modules (iFEMs) to support upcoming flagship smartphone launches, reflecting broad and growing adoption of its new iFEM architecture. “We anticipate continued content growth,” says Eric Creviston, president of Qorvo’s Mobile Products group.
“Qorvo’s newest iFEM solutions leverage our proprietary BAW 5 technology and combine our premium filters, power amplifiers (PAs), switches and low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) to simplify smartphone design, improve performance, reduce product footprint and accelerate product time-to-market,” notes Creviston.
In addition to the smartphone design wins, Qorvo is also collaborating with a leading 4G LTE chipset provider to develop iFEMs for their most advanced cellular reference designs.
Qorvo’s expanding mobile Wi-Fi portfolio comprises:
- the QM48858 iFEM, which integrates the 5GHz PA, 2.4GHz BAW 5 Wi-Fi coexistence filter, LNA, switch, diplexer, and coupler, in a compact 3mm x 3mm package;
- the QM48859 iFEM, which expands on the capabilities of the QM48858 with advanced integration for antenna sharing designs; and
- the QM48861 iFEM, which expands on the capabilities of the QM48859 by adding the 2.4GHz PA.
Qorvo is showcasing its portfolio of RF front ends at Mobile World Congress (MWC 2017) on Stand 2i25 (Hall 2) in Barcelona, Spain (27 February – 2 March).
