9 Product Overview The is a highly integrated front-end module targeted for TDD base stations. The switch module integrates a two-stage and a high power switch in a dual channel configuration. Power down capability for the s can be controlled with shut-down pins for the module. The can be utilized across the 2..8 GHz range to provide. noise figure for operation in the receive mode and. insertion loss in the transmit mode. The s utilize Qorvo s high performance E- phemt process while the pin-diode based switch supports input RF power signals of up to W average power assuming 8 PAR. The is packaged in a RoHS-compliant, compact mm x mm surface-mount leadless package. The switch module is targeted for wireless infrastructure applications configured for TDD-based MIMO architectures. The module can be used for next generation G or preg solutions or small cell basestation applications. 2 Pad mm x mm leadless SMT Package Key Features 2.-.8 GHz Frequency Range Integrates dual channels of a two-stage with a high power switch Max RF Input power: W Pavg (8 PAR).
