Description
The SKY77436 Front-End Module (FEM) is a fully matched, 16-pad surface mount module developed
for WCDMA applications. Small and efficient, this WCDMA FEM integrates the interstage filter, the
input matching, the power amplifier, the output matching, the power detection, and the duplexer into
a single 7 mm x 4 mm x 1.15 mm package.
The SKY77436 meets the stringent spectral requirements of WCDMA standards up to 25.0 dBm
output power. The FEM incorporates an InGaP HBT PA and contains circuitry to optimize power
detector performance. Different control pads are available to enhance the performance of the FEM at
different power levels.
Integration of the RF front-end greatly simplifies the design of the handset radio as all critical
matching between the interstage filter, PA, power detection, and duplexer is optimized within the
module. By optimizing the efficiency of the InGaP HBT PA MMIC and reducing the RF loss between the
integrated components, this FEM achieves current as low as 410 mA at maximum output power
(25.0 dBm) that significantly improves the talk time of the WCDMA handset. This small package uses
Skyworks’ low cost, multi-laminate substrate technology and is approximately half the size of
individually-packaged component solutions. The SKY77436 front-end module can save handset
designers significant board space and design-cycle time.
