Qorvo® Selected for Qualcomm Cellular-V2X Automotive Reference Design
December 28 2017 - 8:00AM
Qorvo® (Nasdaq:QRVO), a leading provider of innovative RF solutions
that connect the world, today announced that it is providing the
front-end power amplifier (PA) for the Qualcomm® Cellular
Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) Reference Design from Qualcomm
Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated. Designed
to enhance travel safety consciousness and improve driver
assistance, the new Qorvo GaAs HBT PA is the only PA announced to
support C-V2X. The solution is designed to offer industry-leading
performance, with higher linear output power and improved
efficiency to lower thermal conditions required for automotive
applications using C-V2X.
C-V2X is designed to support active safety and help enhance
situational awareness by detecting and exchanging information using
low latency direct transmission in the 5.9 GHz ITS band for
Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and
Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P) situations with no need for cellular
subscription or any network assistance. C-V2X is defined by
the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 14
specifications including PC5-based direct communications, with a
clear evolution path towards 5G New Radio (5GNR).
Gorden Cook, general manager of Qorvo’s Transport Business Unit,
said, “Qorvo’s RF technologies are critical to enabling the
connected car. We are excited that our HBT power amplifier will
play a key role in Qualcomm Technologies’ C-V2X reference design,
as it is designed to improve safety, advance autonomous driving
technology and enhance the driving experience.”
Qorvo products designed to solve the toughest automotive RF
challenges will be showcased during CES® 2018 (#CES2018) in Las
Vegas, Nevada, January 9-12, in booth #42531, Halls A-D of Sands
Expo.
