Features

The Modular RF Front End Module includes several noteworthy features, including:

• Small size: 5.5" by 6.5"
• High Efficiency: < 55 W consumed when both PA'quo;s are transmitting full power
  
  • Includes all baseband processing (CFR and DPD)
• Multi-Mode: Power supply may be configured for ET or Constant Voltage operation
• High RF Power: 44 W Peak / 7 W Average* Per PA * 7.5 dB PAPR assumed
• Frequency Domain Duplex (FDD) and Time Domain Duplex (TDD) LTE supported
  • Individual TDD controls for each RF channel
  • Low noise power amplifier shutdown using GaN Gate pinch-off
  • Transmit off time >17 µs (IAW 3GPP specification)
  • Onboard controls available for optimum T/R Switch control timing
• Broad RF Bandwidth: Tx = 1.8 to 2.7 GHz Rx = 1.7 to 2.7 GHz
• Independent Mode control for each channel
