The SKY5A2205 TX/RX Front-End Module (FEM) offers switching solutions for 4G/5G automotive and telematics NAD or CPE. The SKY5A2205 is pin-to-pin compatible with the SKY5A2204 device. It delivers flexibility and efficiency by providing common PCB design capability for multiple regional variant designs, where 2G functionality is required selectively.

The FEM facilitates flexible broadband RF switching using 15 transmit/receive (TRx) antenna switch ports, covering all 3G/4G/5G bands, from 700 MHz through 2300 to 2700 MHz.

In support of downlink inter-band CA, the TRx ports are partitioned into two independent switch blocks, including six LB ports and nine M/HB ports. Each switch block includes a forward direction coupler that may be monitored on the CPL port.

For dual antenna application designs, the SKY5A2205 has dedicated LB and M/HB antenna ports. These ports provide the simultaneous LB and M/HB reception required for downlink CA.
