ARQSF2442-RX-A
2.4 – 4.2 GHz Dual-Channel Receiver Front-End Module
ARQSF2442-RX-A is a dual-channel, receiver front-end module (FEM) designed for 3GPP 5G NR FR1 bands n7, n38, n41, n48, n53, n77, n78 and n90 Wireless Infrastructure. Each channel consists of a silicon SPDT switch and a two-stage GaAs LNA with bypass. The LNA provides high and low gain modes with 1.3 dB noise figure. The SPDT supports high power input signals up to 12 W average power with 10 dB PAR.
This FEM is part of iCana’s FEM product line designed for wireless infrastructure supporting major 3GPP bands. Pin-to-pin compatibility exists within product sub-groups ‘A’ and ‘B’.
Key Features
Transmit Operation:
- Power handling: 41 dBm average power (LTE signal, 10 dB PAR)
- Low insertion loss: 0.7 dB
- Tx-Rx Isolation: > 65 dB (ANT to RXout, LNA power down)
- Channel isolation: > 50 dB (TERM to TERM)
Receive Operation:
- Amplification with by-pass: High gain = 37 dB, Low gain = 16 dB
- Low current consumption: High gain = 115 mA, Low gain = 45 mA
- Low noise figure: 1.3 dB
