Range features
A high level overview of what this range offers
Benefits of FEMs
FEMs boost the performance of your chosen SoC and deliver stronger wireless signals at a greater range, but they can bring a host of other benefits to your entire design:
- Lower power consumption
- By adding an FEM to your design, the SoC can operate more efficiently within nominal tasks or deliver more performance with the power provided
- Increased battery life
- Increased efficiency means less power is consumed. For battery-powered devices, this means your solution can operate for longer periods on a single charge and will use fewer batteries over its life cycle
- Cost-saving and simpler designs
- FEMs are multi-chip modules and can be used in place of multiple components, reducing your overall BOM and simplifying your design
- Faster time to market
- FEMs include multiple discreet components, therefore do not require external matching components, further accelerating your time to market ">
Enhancing the performance of your design
The performance benefits of a FEM means that you can also use a more cost-effective SoC in your design. Post-production, the cost savings continue with a more reliable, efficient design reducing the amount of power consumed.
- Increased TX efficiency
- Increased Rx sensitivity
- Improved efficiency
- Longer battery life
- Stronger signals
- Greater range
- One-for three-component replacement
- Technology agnostic - FEMs are available for all wireless standards
