RF Subsystems

Skyworks family of RF subsystems consist highly integrated transceivers and power amplifiers for GSM, GPRS and EDGE air interfaces in a small form factor.

Skyworks family of RF subsystems consist highly integrated transceivers and power amplifiers for GSM, GPRS and EDGE air interfaces in a small form factor.

These high-performance, field-proven RF subsystems allow wireless terminal manufacturers worldwide to significantly reduce the RF footprint and minimize power consumption for next-generation multi-band GPRS handsets and wireless applications.

Typical GPRS RF Subsystem product features:

• Direct down-conversion receivers that eliminate IF filters
• Integrated, quad-band LNAs, transmit VCOs, and loop filters
• Single integrated, fully programmable fractional-N synthesizers
• Integrated, digital crystal oscillators
• Quad-band, multi-slot GPRS Class 12 operation
• Support for GPRS and downlink EDGE standards
• Direct conversion architectures that eliminate IF conversion stages
• Compatibility with baseband devices from industry-leading providers

Skyworks RF Subsystems are categorized as follows:

• GSM/GPRS RF Subsystems
• EDGE RF Subsystems
• CDMA RF Subsystems
