QPF4538
Wi-Fi Front End Module
Product Overview
The Qorvo® QPF4538 is an integrated front end module (FEM)
designed for Wi-Fi 802.11a/n/ac systems. The compact form
factor and integrated matching minimizes layout area in the
application.
Performance is focused on optimizing the PA for PoE
applications by centering on 0.5W power consumption while
maintaining the highest linear output power and leading edge
throughput.
16-Pin, 2.5x2.5 mm Module Package
Key Features
Integrated die level filtering for 2nd and 3rd harmonics as well
as 2.4 GHz rejection for DBDC operation are included.
