QPF4216SR

RF Front End (LNA + PA) Overview

The QPF4216SR is an integrated front-end module (FEM) designed for IEEE 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 systems operating in the 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz frequency range. It integrates a power amplifier and low-noise amplifier within a compact surface-mount package. Key electrical parameters include a noise figure of 1.8 dB, a gain of 32 dB, and operation from a 5 V supply. The component supports SMD/SMT mounting and is classified as moisture sensitive.

RF Front End (LNA + PA) Feature Summary

• Integrated front-end module combining power amplification and low-noise reception capabilities
• Optimized specifically for IEEE 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 protocol compliance
• Compact form factor with integrated matching to minimize circuit board layout complexity

RF Front End (LNA + PA) Applications

• Wi-Fi 6 access points
• Wireless routers supporting 802.11ax standards
• IoT gateways requiring 2.4 GHz connectivity

RF Front End (LNA + PA) Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'SR' matches the required reel packaging configuration for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the device's moisture sensitivity classification aligns with your facility's floor life management protocols to prevent damage during soldering. Ensure the development kit QPF4216EVB-01 is available if initial design validation is required before full production deployment.

RF Front End (LNA + PA) Selection Notes

Select this component when designing for 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 6 environments requiring high linearity and low noise performance. The integrated nature of the module reduces external component count compared to discrete solutions. Consider the 5 V supply requirement and ensure the system power architecture can support this voltage level efficiently while maintaining thermal stability for continuous operation.
