Wi-Fi 7 FEMs conserve power consumption

They are designed for customer premises equipment, smart home devices, portable consumer electronics and wearables.

Wi-Fi 7 is the newest Wi-Fi standard, also known as IEEE 802.11be Extremely High Throughput (EHT). Wi-Fi 7 works across three separate bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz) to fully utilize spectrum resources.

It also offers faster data speeds, lower latencies, and increased network capacity thanks to new capabilities designed to provide exceptional performance and support large numbers of users and devices in bandwidth-intensive environments.

The Qorvo QM45655, available from Mouser, integrates a multi-transmit-state 5 GHz to 7 GHz frequency power amplifier.

It integrates a multi-transmit-state 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi power amplifier that is also used for high-performance Bluetooth (HP BT). These devices are optimized for a broad 3 V to 5 V operating range, making them ideal for mobile applications such as smartphones and tablets and wearables such as VR/AR goggles.

The QPF4509 and QPF4609 are Wi-Fi 7 front end modules well suited for wireless access points, wireless routers, set-top boxes and customer premise equipment. The QPF4509 offers a 5.17 GHz to 5.895 GHz frequency range, while the 4609 provides a 5.925 GHz to 7.125 GHz range.

These devices include integrated power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers and switches optimized for operation at 5V. This design conserves power consumption while maintaining the highest linear output power and leading-edge throughput.

Qorvo's QM45655EVB01, QM42655EVB, QPF4509EVB, and QPF4609EVB evaluation boards available to order from Mouser, provide a demonstration and development platform for these Wi-Fi 7 modules.

Each board features a pre-mounted target device, along with the required support circuitry. These evaluation boards provide an example application circuit, allowing rapid prototyping when incorporated into existing designs.

These front-end modules are available from Mouser Electronics in the EMEA, Americas and Asia/Pacific regions.
