➀ Qorvo's QPF5100Q Ultra-Wideband (UWB) System-on-Chip (SoC) is now automotive-qualified and available for sampling.
➁ The SoC is designed to enable secure keyless entry, Digital Key systems, child presence detection, and motion sensing in automotive applications.
➂ It offers low-power operation and high integration, and is undergoing Design Verification Testing (DVT) with leading automotive manufacturers.
➀ A UWB, 0 to L band, polarization-insensitive (PI) 1×12 100GHz channel spacing arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) was designed and implemented a 3µm insulator on silicon (SOI) platform by VTT, with insertion losses ranging from -0.82 dB to -1.52 dB.
➁ A 3µm thick silicon waveguide has ultra-low propagation loss (0.1 dB/cm) and low birefringence over a wide wavelength range (1.2µm to 4µm).
➂ A 40-channel 100GHz spacing (de-mux/mux) multiplexer based on cascaded PEG was designed and manufactured on a 3µm SOI platform, with low crosstalk and low insertion loss.
