QM55011TR13

RF Front End (LNA + PA) Overview

The QM55011TR13 is a hybrid, multi-band RF front-end module designed for Cellular IoT applications. It supports NB-IoT Cat-NB1/NB2, LTE-M (Cat-M1/Cat-M2), and Non-Terrestrial Networks. The device integrates power amplifiers with adaptive biasing for efficiency, an SP6T antenna switch, and TX filtering for harmonic suppression. It operates across low bands (5, 8, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 26, 27, 28, 71, 85) and mid bands (1, 2, 3, 4, 25, 39, 65, 66, 70). The module features MIPI RFFE v2.0 control and is housed in a compact 3.0 x 3.0 x 0.6 mm³ package.
