QPF4506
Wi-Fi Front End Module
Product Overview
The Qorvo® QPF4506 is an integrated front end module (FEM)
designed for Wi-Fi 802.11ax systems. The compact form factor
and integrated matching minimizes layout area in the
application.
Performance is focused on optimizing the PA for a 5 V supply
voltage that conserves power consumption while maintaining
the highest linear output power and leading edge throughput.
Receive path matches the optimal technologies to maximize
Rx sensitivity through noise figure performance that is
consistent over a wider variety of conditions.
16 Pad 3x3mm Laminate Package
Key Features
The receive path has integrated die level filtering for 2nd and 3rd
harmonics as well as 2.4 GHz rejection for DBDC operation are
included.
• 5150ꢀ–ꢀ5925MHz
• POUT = +15 dBm MCS11 HE160 -43 dB Dynamic EVM
• POUT = +21 dBm MCS9 VHT80 -35 dB Dynamic EVM
• POUT = +23 dBm MCS7 HT40 -30 dB Dynamic EVM
• POUT = +25 dBm MCS0 HT20 Spectral Mask Compliance
• Optimized for +5 V Operation
For power accuracy feedback a integration of a DC power
detector with logarithmic feedback across power which enables
power control to lower powers and enables the possibility to
calibrate against a constant slope for applications which use
higher gain antennas or end users wanting to reduce device
calibration time in production.
• 30 dB Tx Gain
• 1.7 dB Noise Figure
• 13.5 dB Rx Gain & 6.5 dB Bypass Loss
• 28 dB 2.4 GHz Rejection on Rx Path
• Integrated Logarithmic DC Power Detector
The QPF4506 integrates a 5 GHz power amplifier (PA),
regulator, single-pole two throw switch (SP2T), and a
bypassable low noise amplifier (LNA).
