The Qorvo® QPF7607 is an integrated high power front end module (iFEM) designed for Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) systems. This iFEM integrates bandBoost technology to create an easier to use and extremely compact solution for Wi-Fi tri-band applications where operating in two radios simultaneously within the 5 GHz and 6 GHz frequency band is needed. 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, while providing optional operation over a wide range, that conserves power consumption while maintaining the highest linear output power and leading edge throughput. Qorvo bandBoost technology is integrated to allow operation in U-NII 5-8 while reducing out of band power in U-NII 1-3 to a level that is appropriate for use on the same board. Receive path matches the optimal technologies to maximize Rx sensitivity through noise figure performance that is consistent over a wider variety of conditions.
Integrated die level filtering for 2nd and 3rd harmonics as well as 2.4 GHz rejection for DBDC operation are included. For application feedback, a DC and RF power detector is integrated in the package providing a proportional voltage and RF for a given output power from the transmit path.
The QPF7607 integrates a 6 GHz power amplifier (PA), U-NII 5-8 bandBoost BAW filter, single pole two throw switch (SP2T) and bypassable low noise amplifier (LNA) into a single device.
