Product Description
The HS8018 is a hybrid, multi-band multi-chip RF front-end (RFFE) module supporting cellular LTE Cat NB1 (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/B26/B28 and midband B1/B2/B3/B4/B25/B39/B66 (AWS) frequencies, including broadband PA with bias controller, Tx low-pass harmonic filter, antenna switch, and MIPI RFFE controller.
