The RF7178 front-end module (FEM) integrates a quad-band class-12-compliant GSM/GPRS power amplifier, a pHEMT antenna switch and receive SAW filters, while the RF7177 dual-band (EGSM900/DCS1800) front end module is pin-to-pin compatible with the RF7178 and features a similar feature set integrating the pHEMT antenna switch and SAW filters. When combined, the RF7178 and RF7177 provide a scalable platform solution for handset manufacturers seeking advanced levels of integration.
Compared to traditional discrete implementations, each device eliminate approximately ten component placements. The RF7178 offers full quad-band transmit performance (GSM850/EGSM900/DCS1800/ PCS1900) and four dedicated receive ports in a compact single-placement package.
