Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard 5.8G high-power WLAN front-end module solution

When it comes to the perfect mobile experience, most people will come up with the requirements of speed download, long battery life, low heat and low power consumption, and slim design. The pillars behind these excellent performances are a little-known hero. ——WLAN front-end module.

From the earliest function phones mainly used for calls and text messages, to smartphones and WIFI devices that download faster than many home network connections, Radio Frequency Front End Design (RFFE) is the most important link in mobile phone design since its inception Was ignored. Without proper RFFE, the device cannot connect to the mobile network at all. A properly designed RFFE is critical to current innovations in mobile phone performance, functionality, and industrial design.

This always low-profile radio frequency front end (RFFE) is the functional area between the radio frequency transceiver and the antenna of the mobile phone. Equipment composition. Take Skyworks' SKY85743 platform for WIFI6 technology as an example. In addition to its remarkable FEM characteristics, higher transmission power and stronger receiving sensitivity, it also includes a temperature-compensated logarithmic detector function to achieve RF power amplifier over standing wave protection And PA, LNA, Switch including RF front-end, support a complete set of RF front-end solutions.
