RF & RF FRONT END (RFFE)

Advanced RF front end solutions for high-performance 5G devices.

Our RF solutions are designed to deliver blazing fast 5G.

Qualcomm Technologies has a comprehensive portfolio of tightly integrated RF solutions that includes multimode, multiband RF transceivers and Qualcomm® RF Front End (RFFE) products. Our advanced architectures, process technologies, and packaging advancements support long battery life and superior coverage—helping us create highly integrated, high-performance Modem-RF Systems for the 5G era.

RF Switch & Switch Module

Our high-performance, integrated and discrete RF switches build on proprietary layer transfer technology to deliver high linearity and low insertion loss for advanced 5G dual-connectivity (EN-DC) architectures.

Diversity receive module

Our diversity receive modules (DRx modules) combine switches, filters and low-noise amplifiers into a module, providing a highly integrated, user-friendly solution for implementing high-order diversity receive paths.

Antenna tuning solutions

Our comprehensive multi-tier portfolio of antenna performance enhancement technologies includes Qualcomm® AI-Enhanced Signal Boost, the world's first AI antenna tuning technology that intelligently detects hand grips.

Power Amplifier Modules

We have an extensive range of 5G multiband, multimode power amplifier (PA) modules for global design architectures in all tiers. Our PA modules bring together multiplexers, filters, RF switches, and LNAs to allow highly integrated transmit.

Superior RF front-end solutions and RF filters.

Qualcomm Technologies offers an extensive portfolio of RF front-end (RFFE) filter products comprised of high performance embedded and discrete duplexers, diplexers, extractors, and acoustic filters including Qualcomm® ultraBAW™ and Qualcomm® ultraSAW™ Filter Technology, and TC-SAW filters. They’re designed to help address 5G design challenges while improving RF performance to help manufacturers more easily develop power-efficient 5G multiband, multimode mobile devices in sleek form factors and industrial designs.

Addressing 5G multimode RF complexity

5G poses a new set of challenges to OEMs designing mobile devices for the 5G era. With wider frequency ranges, wider carrier bandwidths, increasing antenna count, mmWave complexity, and an exploding number of band and mode combinations, OEMs need innovative, next-generation RF solutions to build sleek.
