Two new front-end modules (FEMs) unveiled by Skyworks are designed for high-power Wi-Fi 6E networking applications.
The SKY85784-11 features extremely low error vector magnitude EVM floor while simultaneously providing ultra-high linear output power that can meet the regulatory limit, therefore improving overall range coverage. In addition, Skyworks has also released the SKY85780-11, a high performance FEM, which is the only solution on the market to maximize distance and throughput within FCC maximum output power
limit. These modules are ideal for Wi-Fi 6E applications including indoor and outdoor networking, and wireless video streaming.
The SKY85784-11 and SKY85780-11 FEMs have been fully tested and qualified by tier 1 security operations center partner, reducing design risk. Both incorporate a single-pole, double-throw transmit/receive switch, a high-gain low-noise amplifier with bypass and a power amplifier intended for high-power Wi-Fi 6E applications and systems. These devices are available for high volume shipping expediting time-to-market.
Wi-Fi 6E technology takes advantage of the newly available radio spectrum in the 6 GHz band, which offers three-times more bandwidth than the 5 GHz band. It also adds seven new 160 MHz channels to the current Wi-Fi 6 standard, provides lower latency and will be dedicated to Wi-Fi 6E devices for maintaining high speeds that will not be affected by legacy devices.
