QLX3Ax
Low Power and Reconfigurable Digital RF (DRF) Front End for GNSS and IOT Applications
The QLX3Ax device transforms GNSS connectivity by delivering programmable triple-band support, ultra-low power consumption, and the flexibility of a fully reconfigurable DRF-FE.
The QLX3Ax takes GNSS reception to a whole new level. A single device supports L1, L2, L5 and L6 bands, with wide signal bandwidth to support concurrent multiband reception, high precision codes and the wideband E5 Galileo.
Applications
The QLX3Ax establishes new standards for ultra-low
power by integrating Qualinx’s patented DRF technology,
advanced power management design, and the industry’s leading RF process technology. This innovative combination enables the QLX3Ax to achieve up to 10x lower power consumption compared to existing AFE solutions, directly contributing to more sustainable and energy-efficient products.
Qualinx’s patented DRF-FE technology enables ODM/OEMs to combine multiple radios on a single product that can be fully reconfigured on the fly, with full control over operating modes. This innovative approach significantly reduces the cost of ownership.
