Qorvo showcases the industry's first 5G RF front-end module to accelerate the industry's 5G transition

Qorvo, the leading provider of RF solutions for defense, microgrid messaging, mobile applications, infrastructure and aerospace, defense applications, today announced the QM19000, the industry's first Sub-6 GHz 5G RF front-end module and the highly integrated, high-performance QM19000 enabling high Linearity, ultra-low latency and high throughput to meet or exceed the development needs of future 5G applications Qorvo presented its prototype 5G terminal based on this module recently at the 2017 China Mobile Global Collaboration in Guangzhou.

5G era will be the era of all things is the era of the wisdom of the network is to connect the future era.From the 5G standardization process point of view, 3GPP first 15G Rel.15 has been officially frozen in December this year, which is NSA ( Non-independent networking) has frozen the core standards.This also means that the first phase of the first version of 5G NR agreement has been completed, compared to the original plan six months in advance, the industry manufacturers in the 5G layout again speed.According to the latest 3GPP plan, 5G SA standard will be frozen in June 2018 and the full version of Rel.16 will be completed by the end of 2019. According to the 5G network deployment, 5G will not start commercial scale until 2019-2020 Deployment.According to the traditional industry conduction process, the terminal generally lag behind the network about 12-18 months.With the scale of the deployment of 5G network, the user's 5G terminal will have a better experience.

Qorvo, as a 3GPP representative, helped shape the 5G standard and worked closely with the world's leading manufacturers of wireless infrastructure, network operators, chipset vendors and smartphone manufacturers to lay the groundwork for a 5G roadmap Qorvo 5G band coverage The 600-MHz Band 71 band, which will be supported by the United States in the near future, will be the only vendor that can support all 5G-band bands up to 39GHz at 6GHz and below, following the expansion of the infrastructure portfolio.

The Qorvo QM19000's exceptional performance includes support for 3.3-4.2 GHz wideband operation, 24.5 dBm linear power output, 9-dB peak-to-peak CP-OFDM modulated signals, carrier aggregation with QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM modulation, ; Supports 2dB maximum power back-off at 64 QAM single-carrier 100 MHz operation and 3dB maximum power back-off at 64QAM 4 carrier aggregation at 400 MHz; Supports 2x2 and 4x4 multi-stream transmission. Even at 3.5mm x 6mm The small size of the package, QM19000 integrated high-performance broadband filter can also be a good solution to coexistence interference problems.

At the 20th GTI Industry Summit in London in November and the 2017 China Mobile Global Partner Conference in Guangzhou, Qorvo presented its QG19000 based 5G terminal prototype demo.
