Qorvo just launched a new family of RF switches built to simplify multi-band radio architectures. Covering 50 MHz to 10 GHz, these devices cut component count, boost signal integrity, and make RF system design more efficient across 5G infrastructure, industrial, drone, and test applications.
As 5G radios stretch to support wider bandwidths and more frequency bands including emerging spectrum like FR3, designers are hitting a wall. Keeping isolation and signal integrity clean without adding size, loss, or complexity is getting harder.
Many current designs lean on cascaded switch architectures or multiple narrowband devices, which drives up insertion loss, hurts linearity, and bloats board space and design time.
Enter Qorvo’s new QPC6144, a SP4T wideband RF Switches that delivers over 65 dB of isolation in a single device. Pair that with the QPC6122 (SP2T) and QPC6188 (SP4T), which offer wideband absorptive switching across the same 50 MHz to 10 GHz range, and you get a single-platform approach to RF routing.
These devices slash component count and simplify design while keeping insertion loss low and linearity strong across wide bandwidths perfect for calibration paths, general signal routing, and multi-band operation.
This new family forms a unified switching platform that handles both high-isolation and general-purpose routing. By consolidating switching functions into fewer components, engineers can trim BOM complexity, clean up layouts, and speed up development across multiple applications.
| Product | Key Role | Solves | Typical Use |
| QPC6144 | High-isolation switching | Eliminates cascaded switches with >65 dB isolation in a single device | DPD feedback, calibration paths, high-isolation paths in 5G radios and advanced drone communications |
| QPC6122 | Compact wideband switching | Reduces component count while maintaining low insertion loss and signal linearity across wide bandwidths | Calibration paths, space-constrained RF routing in compact RF modules and drones |
| QPC6188 | Flexible wideband routing | Simplifies multi-path RF routing while maintaining low loss and signal linearity across multiple bands | Switching networks in infrastructure, industrial, drone and test system applications |
Leadership Comment
“Designers no longer have to rely on cascaded switch architectures to achieve high isolation. We’re delivering that performance in a single device across a very wide bandwidth,” said Debbie Gibson, general manager of Qorvo’s infrastructure business. This approach reduces insertion loss, maintains signal linearity and simplifies design, improving receiver performance in applications such as digital pre-distortion (DPD) feedback.
Availability
Samples are available now through Qorvo and will be showcased at IMS2026, June 7–12 in Boston, Booth 20036.
