Skyworks launches mid- and high-band FEM for 3G/4G/5G mobile
Building on its Sky5 portfolio of products for 5G applications, Skyworks Solutions Inc of Woburn, MA, USA (which manufactures analog and mixed-signal semiconductors) has launched the SKY58085-11, a mid- and high-band front-end module (FEM) that supports 3G/4G/5G mobile devices and operates efficiently in 3G/4G/5G modes.
The module meets 5G NR and LTE Advanced requirements where wider bandwidth (100MHz) and carrier aggregation are used for higher data rates.
The highly integrated solution includes power amplifier blocks operating in the mid and high bands, a silicon controller containing the MIPI RFFE interface, RF band switches, mid- and high-band antenna switches, bi-directional couplers, and integrated filters to support Bands 1, 2, 3, 7, 34, 39, 40 and 41.
Packaged in a 62-pad LGA assembly, it offers a highly manufacturable and low-cost solution, says Skyworks.
