GREENSBORO, N.C., May 28, 2026 – Qorvo® (Nasdaq: QRVO), a leading global provider of connectivity and power solutions, today announced a new family of RF switches designed to simplify multi-band radio architectures. Spanning 50 MHz to 10 GHz, the family reduces component count, improves signal integrity and enables more efficient RF system design across 5G infrastructure, industrial, drone and test applications.

As 5G radios expand to support wider bandwidths and more frequency bands, including emerging spectrum such as FR3, designers face increasing challenges maintaining isolation and signal integrity without adding size, loss and complexity. Many current designs rely on cascaded switch architectures or multiple narrowband devices, increasing insertion loss, degrading linearity and signal integrity, and adding board space and design effort.

“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.

Qorvo’s new QPC6144 is a SP4T wideband switch that delivers greater than 65 dB isolation in a single device. Complementing this capability, the QPC6122 (SP2T) and QPC6188 (SP4T) provide wideband absorptive switching across 50 MHz to 10 GHz, enabling a single platform approach to RF routing. These devices reduce component count and simplify design while maintaining low insertion loss and strong linearity across wide bandwidths for calibration paths, general signal routing and multi-band operation.

The new family of devices forms a unified switching platform that supports both high-isolation and general-purpose routing. By consolidating switching functions into fewer components, engineers can reduce BOM complexity, simplify layouts and accelerate 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

Samples are available now through Qorvo and will be showcased at IMS2026, June 7–12 in Boston, Booth 20036. To schedule a meeting or learn more about high-performance RF expertise, visit the Qorvo IMS hub.
