5G mmWave Front-End Technology
By Bror Peterson, Wireless Systems Architect, Qorvo
The RF section of 5G system brings a host of engineering
challenges. When we are designing for 5G, we need to step up
our game, and that means taking advantage of the latest high-
performance, wide-bandgap materials like Gallium Nitride. In this
episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Bror Peterson of
Qorvo about the issues designers face in RF design for 5G, and
some unique solutions Qorvo brings to the table.

Qorvo FWA Solutions: mmWave Massive GaN Front Ends
FWA is approaching—fast
FWA implementation has begun, and full commercialization is approaching rapidly. Today, we believe hybrid
beamforming is the best approach. Additionally, GaN, along with SiGe core beamforming, meets FCC EIRP targets of
75dBm/100MHz base station targets. This approach also minimizes cost, complexity, size, and power dissipation.
