The SKY5A2205 TX/RX Front-End Module (FEM) offers
switching solutions for 4G/5G automotive and
telematics NAD or CPE. The SKY5A2205 is pin-to-pin
compatible with the SKY5A2204 device. It delivers
flexibility and efficiency by providing common PCB
design capability for multiple regional variant designs,
where 2G functionality is required selectively.
The FEM facilitates flexible broadband RF switching
using 15 transmit/receive (TRx) antenna switch ports,
covering all 3G/4G/5G bands, from 700 MHz through
2300 to 2700 MHz.
In support of downlink inter-band CA, the TRx ports
are partitioned into two independent switch blocks,
including six LB ports and nine M/HB ports. Each
switch block includes a forward direction coupler that
may be monitored on the CPL port.
For dual antenna application designs, the SKY5A2205
has dedicated LB and M/HB antenna ports. These ports
provide the simultaneous LB and M/HB reception
required for downlink CA.
