Product Overview

designed for Wi-Fi 802.11a/n/ac systems. The compact form

factor and integrated matching minimizes layout area in the

application.

Performance is focused on optimizing the PA for PoE

applications by centering on 0.5W power consumption while

maintaining the highest linear output power and leading edge

throughput.

Integrated die level filtering for 2nd and 3rd harmonics as well

as 2.4 GHz rejection for DBDC operation are included.

The QPF4538 integrates a 5 GHz power amplifier (PA), single

pole two throw switch (SP2T) and bypassable low noise

amplifier (LNA) into a single device.
