Qorvo's C-band BAW BPF and switch/LNA saves space and weight of 5G radios
Qorvo has made available of its new first bulk acoustic wave (BAW) 280 MHz band pass filter QPQ3509 for 5G C-band frequency applications in North America. Qorvo has also made available another new device QPB9850, a highly integrated front-end switch / low noise amplifier (LNA) module for 5G base station RF front-ends. The use of combination of these two new components in 5G small cell applications reduces size and weight.
Kyung Mun, principal analyst at Mobile Experts, Inc., said, “As the first frantic phase of 5G macro deployments tapers off in developed markets like North America, operators are turning their focus to the second phase of network densification with macro towers and small cells. Mobile Experts forecasts a 9% CAGR growth in 5G small cells over the next five years. In North America, we see an elevated growth of annual carrier outdoor small cell shipments over the next three years as operators look to harness their mid-band/C-band spectrum across their expanding 5G network footprint with small cells to further expand network capacity.” The QPQ3509 filter covers the 3.7−3.98 GHz 5G band in a compact 2.0 x 1.6 mm package for base station applications. Low insertion loss coupled with high out of band attenuation makes this filter an excellent choice for 5G C-band applications. The QPQ3...
