Date: October 15, 2025

Time: 8am PT / 11am ET

Sponsored by: RFMW and Qorvo

Presented by: Suma Kapilavai, Principal Product Manager and Jeff Gengler, Director, Applications Engineering, Qorvo

Abstract:
Drones, SATCOM, RFID, metering, and public safety systems all rely on wideband RF components to achieve range, sensitivity, and efficiency. In this session, Qorvo and RFMW experts will demonstrate how PAs, LNAs, switches, and DSAs serve as the building blocks behind today’s most demanding wireless systems. Using system block diagrams, presenters Suma Kapilavai and Jeff Gengler will share design strategies that help engineers reduce complexity and accelerate time to market.

Key Takeaways

• Design smarter: Apply wideband building blocks across multiple wireless applications.
• Improve performance: Extend range and sensitivity with proven PAs and LNAs.
• Accelerate design cycles with reference diagrams, tools, and proven components.
