New WiFi Front End Modules

RFMD’s new high linearity WiFi front end modules provide complete integrated front end solutions for WiFi systems. The ultra-small form factor and integrated matching minimizes layout area in the application and greatly reduces the number of external components. This simplifies the total front end solution with a reduced bill of materials, smaller system footprint, and lower manufacturing cost. Each of these devices integrates a power amplifier, switch, LNA with bypass, and a power detector coupler for improved accuracy and is provided in a 3mm x 3mm x 1.0mm, 16-pin laminate package.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
