NXP has launched a series of compact RF front-end reference boards for 5G massive MIMO radios that can significantly shorten development cycles and reduce time to market.

Eindhoven, the Netherlands – July 5, 2021 – NXP Semiconductors NV (NXP) has announced the launch of its RapidRF family of reference boards for 5G radios. Designed for massive MIMO systems, RapidRF integrates a linear pre-driver, RF power amplifier, Rx LNA with T/R switch, circulator and bias controller in a compact form factor.

The RapidRF solution integrates all RF front-end functions in a single turnkey board design supporting NXP's second-generation multi-chip modules, accelerating the entire development process for RF designers from prototyping design to the release of cutting-edge 5G systems. The RapidRF series is mainly suitable for massive MIMO radio units (32T32R, 64T64R), outdoor small cell base stations, and drivers used as high-power macro base stations. The series is suitable for both proprietary radio access network companies and new companies in open RAN, both of which are driving widespread innovation in the wireless network industry. The universal PCB layout also helps RF engineers scale their PA designs across frequency bands and power levels.

“NXP’s new RapidRF family of front-end reference boards further helps reduce RF design complexity, allowing our customers to focus on their core value-add areas,” said Eric Westberg, director of product management for integrated power solutions in NXP’s Radio Power business unit.

NXP RapidRF reference boards feature highly efficient Doherty power amplifier multi-chip modules that can achieve up to 200 MHz instantaneous bandwidth through linearization, and can also meet regulatory agency emissions requirements when used in conjunction with digital pre-distortion. In addition, the reference boards have built-in couplers for digital pre-distortion (DPD) feedback, and thanks to the 50 ohm input/output integration of NXP 5G multi-chip modules, their compact configurations feature a common PCB layout covering all frequencies and power levels.

Availability

NXP’s RapidRF front-end reference design for 5G infrastructure is available now.
