5G receiver front ends configured in dual-channels

These dual-channel receiver front-end multichip modules are designed for time division duplexing (TDD) applications that operate from 2.4-4.2 GHz (ADRF5545A), 3.7-5.3 GHz (ADRF5547) and 1.8-2.8 GHz (ADRF5549).

The devices are configured in dual channels with a cascading two-stage LNA and a high-power silicon SPDT switch.

They are well suited for wireless infrastructure, TDD massive multiple input and multiple output and active antenna systems, and TDD-based communication system applications.

Key features of the family of front end modules include:

• On-chip bias and matching
• Single supply operation
