Qorvo is enabling network providers to more easily deploy the Internet of Things (IoT) by adding greater connectivity to existing mobile cellular networks. Qorvo’s portfolio of high-performance, off-the-shelf, small signal products is facilitating an early network build-out using the 900 MHz frequency band.
ABI Research predicts low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs) will be the world’s fastest-growing connectivity technology through 2025, supporting four billion IoT devices by then.
Qorvo’s small-signal product family delivers high linearity, low power consumption, low noise, small size and excellent integration. It includes transmit linear amplifiers, gain blocks and variable gain amplifiers, as well as attenuators, switches, filters, duplexers and low-noise amplifiers. Some key solutions for IOT include the following products:
- QPA9805 - 600-1000 MHz 1/2 Watt Balanced Amplifier
- RFDA0047 - 400-2700 MHz Dual Channel Digital VGA
- RFDA0026 - 700-1035 MHz Digital VGA
- SBB5089Z - 50-600 MHz Cascadable InGaP HBT Active Bias MMIC Amplifier
- TQL9066 - 50-1500 MHz High IP3 Dual Low Noise Amplifier
- TQP3M9008 - 50-4000 MHz High Linearity Low Noise Amplifier Gain Block
- TQP7M9101 - 400-4200 MHz, 0.25 Watt High Linearity Amplifier
- TQP7M9102 - 400-4000 MHz, 0.5 Watt High Linearity Amplifier
- TQP7M9103 - 400-4000 MHz, 1 Watt High Linearity Amplifier
The Low-band wireless infrastructure market has grown about 20 percent in the last year, and it’s just getting started. Qorvo’s small-signal products are enabling customers such as China Mobile to support large numbers of IoT devices using narrowband transmission, resulting in quicker time-to-market, greater flexibility and reduced costs.
