QPF4617SR

RF Front End (LNA + PA) Overview

The QPF4617SR is a non-linear integrated front end module (FEM) designed for Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) systems operating at 6 GHz. It integrates low-noise amplifier and power amplifier functions within an SMD-24 package. Key electrical parameters include a noise figure of 1.9 dB, gain values of 14.5 dB and 31 dB, and a P1dB compression point of 31 dBm. The device operates with a supply voltage of 5 V and features humidity sensitivity classification.
