Front end modules
0-110GHz
Integrated RF modules designed to optimise system efficiency
Filtronic has extensive experience in creating high performance modules that are placed between the antenna and the digital baseband section of a wireless system.
The RF Front End consists of all the components needed to interface between antennas and the digital section in an RF system. Front end modules are one of the most important parts of an RF System. The RF front end contains a number of components that work together to ensure signal integrity throughout the signal’s bandwidth.

Product description
Front end modules are one of the most important parts of a RF System, Filtronic has extensive experience in creating high performance modules that are placed between the antenna and the digital baseband section of a wireless system.
Front end modules are available in various configurations based on the application. They can consist of power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers, switches, filters, power detectors, baluns and other products – the configuration varies based on the application and requirement. Filtronic is well placed to design and manufacture fully integrated complex front-end switching and up/down conversion over a wide frequency range, up to and including mmWave.
With cutting edge manufacturing facilities Filtronic can assemble more devices into a single package that can include power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers as well as diplexers and switches. This is increasingly important due to the availability of space coupled with the requirement for greater performance.
