Qorvo QPF4609 6GHz Wi-Fi® 7 High-Power Front End Modules

Qorvo QPF4609 6GHz Wi-Fi® 7 High-Power Front End Modules (FEMs) are designed for Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) systems. The small form factor and integrated matching minimize the 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. This is done across a wide bandwidth, enabling operation in all channels from UNII5-8 (5.925GHz to 7.125GHz).

A 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 Qorvo QPF4609 integrates a 6GHz power amplifier (PA), single-pole two-throw switch (SP2T), coupler structure, and bypassable low-noise amplifier (LNA) into a single device.
