Hexaplexer SAW BAW filter manufacturers LTE, 5G Mobile phones
This page describes Hexaplexer SAW/BAW filter used in LTE and 5G mobile phones. It lists vendors or manufacturers of Hexaplexer filter as per SAW/BAW filter designs.
What is Hexaplexer filter ?
As shown there are 6 ports other than 1 antenna port. Hexaplexer functions as 6 port to 1 port multiplexer/de-multiplexer device. Out of 6 ports, 3 ports are used as receive ports where as the rest of the three ports are used as transmit ports. It combines multiple Tx and RX filters into a compact module.
The figure depicts Hexaplexer device with 3 transmit ports , 3 receive ports (P2 and P4) and one antenna port (P1). It offers two major benefits in carrier aggregation systems viz. less space and low cost.
Following are the technical specifications of Hexaplexer filter to be considered while
selecting or buying.
• Bands or frequency range
• Insertion Loss (in transmit direction)
• Compact Form Factor
• Power handling capacity at input ports
• VSWR at Tx port, ANT port
• Attenuation at different frequency range
• Tx to Rx Isolation
Example :
Qorvo model numbers QM26001 and QM26002 are used as hexaplexer filters or
as multiplexers in LTE-advanced and 5G NR architectures.
