AFEM-S106-TR1G

Product Overview

AFEM-S106-TR1G from Broadcom Limited is a Wi-Fi RF front-end module used in RF front-end designs that need integrated transmit, receive, switching or low-noise signal-chain functions. This description focuses on practical RF parameters such as band coverage, PA/LNA path behavior, control requirements and package compatibility.

The exact orderable suffix should be matched before purchase because RF front-end devices often vary by band plan, pinout, reel format, qualification grade and control-state truth table.

Key Features

• Manufacturer: Broadcom Limited
• Part Number: AFEM-S106-TR1G
• Device Type: Wi-Fi RF front-end module
• RF Band / Frequency Range: 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz WLAN band depending on AFEM/QFEM suffix
• Transmit / PA Path: Integrated WLAN PA chain with matching and harmonic filtering on supported variants
• Receive / LNA Path: Integrated LNA receive path and antenna switch network for Wi-Fi front-end implementation
• Output Power / Linearity: Output power, EVM and current depend on AFEM-S/AFEM-8xxx suffix; verify the exact Broadcom data sheet before layout changes
• Control / Bias: GPIO/logic control for TX, RX, bypass and antenna switch states
• System Impedance: 50 Ω RF interface where specified by the device reference design or data sheet
• Package / Case: Small laminate/QFN FEM package depending on part number
• Operating Temperature: RF front-end module temperature range is suffix-specific; verify industrial or automotive grade before sourcing
• Design Notes: Use the exact AFEM/QFEM part number because band, package pinout and harmonic-filter integration vary significantly.

Applications

802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi modules, access points, client devices and compact wireless front ends.

Also suitable for engineering replacements, shortage support and BOM consolidation where the same RF band, package footprint and control interface must be maintained.

Quality & Sourcing

Antrex Electronics can support sourcing for AFEM-S106-TR1G through available stock checks, BOM consolidation and alternative-lot review. For RF front-end modules, packaging condition, date code, MSL handling, reel labeling and moisture exposure should be checked before shipment.

For project builds, repair support or shortage coverage, Antrex Electronics can coordinate visual inspection, package verification and third-party testing when required. This helps buyers reduce risk when sourcing hard-to-find or lifecycle-sensitive RF front-end components.
