The new MCMs are part of NXP’s 5G Airfast solutions product family that includes LDMOS power amplifier modules, GaAs pre-driver modules and receiver modules for cellular frequency bands from 2.3 GHz to 3.8 GHz, with output power from 3 W to 5 W.
The fully integrated power amplifier modules feature advanced high-performance in-package Doherty, fully matched 50-ohm input/output, multiple gain stages, and a small footprint.
This combination of features is ideal for scaling mMIMO 5G configuration up to 64T64R.
NXP’s RapidRF front-end designs integrate an RF power amplifier module, receiver LNAs, a transmit/receive switch, a circulator and a bias controller in a compact footprint.
They are ease-of-use solutions to help accelerate prototyping for massive MIMO systems, Open RAN, outdoor small cells, and low-power remote radio heads.
The RapidRF platform includes design files.
