[[390846]]

Qorvo, a supplier of RF solutions for mobile applications, infrastructure, and aerospace and defense applications, recently announced that it has increased shipments of its RF Fusion20TM product portfolio to all major 5G smartphone manufacturers. RF Fusion20TM is an extension of its award-winning integrated 5G RF front-end (RFFE) module series. Fusion20 adds receive path integration and RF shielding capabilities, providing comprehensive transmit and receive coverage through a complete set of configurations to meet market needs in different regions.

Eric Creviston, president of Qorvo's Mobile Products business unit, said: "To support the rapid adoption of 5G in flagship and mass-market mobile phones, manufacturers are requiring significantly higher levels of integration and performance, requiring best-in-class technology in the RFFE. Fusion20 combines Qorvo's best-in-class GaAs power amplifiers, advanced BAW multiplexing technology and integrated RF shielding to address these challenges and enable customers to adopt innovative designs with higher performance and connectivity."

Qorvo Fusion20 modules support all major baseband chipsets. Key technology improvements include integrated receive paths and low-noise amplifiers, which help improve receive performance and connectivity while saving valuable board space. Each Fusion20 module features Qorvo's MicroShield® RF shielding innovation. MicroShield minimizes unnecessary interactions between RFFE components, enabling manufacturers to streamline the development process and accelerate time to market. Fusion20 helps meet the most stringent 5G bandwidth requirements, up to 200 MHz.

Fusion20 includes QM77048 mid/high band, QM77043 low band and QM78207/208/209 ultra-high band modules, which can be configured in different regions according to specific market needs. Qorvo optimizes Fusion20 and pairs it with Qorvo Wi-Fi 6/6E modules to provide a complete 5G front-end solution. When implemented as a system, these modules provide a reliable path to accelerate 5G mobile phone development.

These advanced modules build on Qorvo's successful RF FusionTM 5G portfolio, which is used by leading manufacturers. RF Fusion enables a complete, highly integrated RFFE solution covering all major 5G and 4G frequency bands.

Cees Links, general manager of Qorvo's Wireless Connectivity business unit, said: "ConcurrentConnect technology represents an important step forward in our journey toward dynamic multiprotocol support. Using one gateway or hub and multiple ConcurrentConnect-enabled IoT devices creates a simplified smart home without missing a signal. By simultaneously supporting all major wireless protocols, designers and homeowners can be sure of seamless connectivity when adding new devices. This increased flexibility will inspire even more innovative applications in the smart home."
