sub-6 GHz RF modules

Qualcomm recently announced their newest innovation which fully integrates a 5G NR mmWave (millimeter wave) antenna module family along with a sub-6 GHz RF module for smartphones and other mobile devices. “Today’s announcement of the first commercial 5G NR mmWave antenna modules and sub-6 GHz RF modules for smartphones and other mobile devices represents a major milestone for the mobile industry. Qualcomm Technologies’ early investment in 5G has allowed us to deliver to the industry a working mobile mmWave solution that was previously thought unattainable, as well as a fully-integrated sub-6 GHz RF solution. In order to achieve broader 5G coverage, it needs to be in sub-6 GHz spectrum bands. The QDM5650 and QDM5652 feature integrated 5G NR LNA/switch and filtering subsystem for MIMO support while all of the modules have an integrated SRS switching required for 3.3-4.2GHz, 3.3-3.8GHz, and 4.4-5.0GHz sub-6 bands support. The QTM052 mmWave antenna module family and the QPM56xx sub-6 GHz RF module family are now being sampled by manufacturers.
