RF wireless modules combine three components as single package

Murata has unveiled a new series of rf wireless modules designed specifically for mobile phone applications and comprising a SAW filter, power amplifier and magnetic stabiliser.
According to Murata, the HFQPRAPCA series is believed to be the world's first module to combine the three components as a single package. It measures 6.6 x 3.8 x 1mm and is designed to enable cellular phone engineers to achieve a more integrated and compact design.
The magnetic stabilser provides the same function as an isolator and is said to aid the modules ability to remain stable under fluctuating load conditions. Its load resistant element is a magnet used as an isolator and controls the characteristics of load fluctuation caused by changes in impedance that can occur when the user's hand, metal object or other materials come close to the antenna.
Murata Manufacturing says it designed the single package module to address the need for a compact integrated module that does not need matching.
The series is available to support the following bands; Band 5 (BC0), Band 1 (BC6), Band 25 (BC14) and Band 13. Further frequency bands will be supported in the future.
