LG Electronics has selected Qorvo's RF Fusion™ Mobile Wi-Fi integrated Front End Module (iFEM) for the Nexus™ 5X smartphone. Qorvo develops highly integrated front end modules for Wi-Fi, and the newest RF Fusion Mobile Wi-Fi iFEM, the TQF6174, delivers higher performance than discrete components while saving space and simplifying design for leading smartphone manufacturers.
The TQF6174 RF Fusion™ Mobile Wi-Fi iFEM provides a new level of integration and performance in the mobile Wi-Fi front end. The TQF6174 iFEM combines a Wi-Fi coexistence filter, 5GHz power amplifier, 5GHz low noise amplifier (LNA), diplexer, switch and coupler in a compact 4mm x 3mm package. All of Qorvo's RF Fusion™ front end solutions combine best-in-class power amplifiers, filters, and switches to deliver industry-leading performance and size.
The Wi-Fi coexistence filter in the TQF6174 iFEM leverages Qorvo's proprietary LowDrift™ BAW technology to address the design challenges related to interference between Wi-Fi and the adjacent LTE bands (7, 40 and 41) used in China, North America and elsewhere. Qorvo's coexistence filters deliver superior insertion loss and improved power added efficiency (PAE) and power output, helping smartphone manufacturers to extend battery life and maximize data throughput across the full 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi spectrum. All of Qorvo's LowDrift™ and NoDrift™ premium BAW filters combine high performance and temperature stability to solve coexistence challenges unaddressed by other technologies.
The Company employs proprietary wafer-level packaging (WLP) and CuFlip™ flip-chip technology to reduce module size, resulting in a footprint that is 24% smaller in a 2X2 MIMO configuration than comparable discrete solutions.
Qorvo's highly integrated RF solutions simplify design, reduce product footprint, conserve power and improve overall system performance in smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. The Company offers customers a unique combination of broad manufacturing scale, deep systems-level expertise, and the industry's most comprehensive product and technology portfolio, helping mobile device manufacturers accelerate delivery of next-generation products.
