SKY68001-21 Functional Block Diagram
Description
The SKY68001-21 is a hybrid, multi-band multi-chip RF front-end
(RFFE) module supporting cellular LTE Cat0/CatM1/CATNB1
(half-duplex system) transceiver platforms. The module
integrates the entire RF front end necessary for an LTE
multi-band radio operating in low-band
(B5/B8/B12/B13/B17/B18/B19/B20/B28) and mid-band
(B1/B2/B3/B4/B25/B66 [AWS]) frequencies, including Rx
low-pass filters, broadband PA with bias controller, Tx low-pass
harmonic filter, antenna switch, and MIPI RFFE controller.
Tx Section
The PA load-line is optimized for high efficiency while
simultaneously meeting 3GPP ACLR and emissions mask
specifications with LTE up to 36 RB. An integrated LPF is
implemented to reject the PA and transceiver harmonics while at
the same time minimizing any post PA loss for an optimized
transmit current consumption. The broadband PA covers the
frequency range 699 MHz to 915 MHz for low-band, and
1710 MHz to 1980 MHz for mid-band.
