Delivering Unmatched Performance and Scalability to Meet Global Demand
 Greensboro, NC - January 11, 2021 - Qorvo® (Nasdaq:QRVO), a leading provider
of innovative RF solutions that connect the world, today introduced a family
of high-performance low noise amplifiers (LNAs) tailored for base station infrastructure
deployments including 5G massive MIMO (m-MIMO). Qorvo's newest family of LNAs
combines the lowest noise figure in the industry - 0.3 dB achieved at 2 GHz
- with unmatched reliability and scalability in a very compact footprint.
The flagship QPL9547 LNA utilizes Qorvo's latest generation enhancement-mode
pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor (pHEMT) process to provide market-leading
noise figure and improved receiver sensitivity for cellular base stations. This
LNA is internally matched and is available in a compact, 2 mm x 2 mm package
to provide space savings for system designers. Additional LNAs in the product
family such as the QPL9057,
QPL9058 and
QPL9504 are optimized to provide high
gain and disable pins required for 5G wireless infrastructure.
Joe Madden, chief analyst at Mobile Experts, Inc., said, "In 5G networks,
the uplink is the limiting factor, and massive MIMO makes the uplink even
more critical. A combination of low noise figure and high dynamic range is
the key to maximizing the coverage of a 5G network. We expect the market to
require large numbers of this type of LNA, as massive MIMO ramps up
worldwide."
Roger Hall, general manager of Qorvo's High Performance Solutions (HPS) business,
said "The release of these third-generation LNAs makes it easier for our
customers to design and deploy their 5G solutions. This LNA family helps
ensure that data transfer will be seamless and reliable, prompting customer
demand worldwide."
The QPL9547,
QPL9057,
QPL9058 and
QPL9504 are in production now and are available
for immediate delivery.
The global deployment of 5G networks is driving demand
for Qorvo's entire portfolio of high-performance RF solutions, including GaN
high-power amplifiers and GaAs front-end modules (FEMs). Qorvo's 5G portfolio
offers the efficiency, reliability and compact size needed for base station
manufacturers and network operators to increase capacity and expand coverage.
It also provides complete solutions for new 5G smartphones, including low-band,
mid-high and ultra-high-band FEMs; transmit-receive modules; and antenna control
solutions that enable innovative new designs, enhanced performance and faster
time to market.

effect on our results of operations; our dependence on third parties; risks
related to sales through distributors; risks associated with the operation of
our manufacturing facilities; business disruptions; poor manufacturing yields;
increased inventory risks and costs due to timing of customer forecasts; our
inability to effectively manage or maintain evolving relationships with platform
providers; risks from international sales and operations; economic regulation
in China; changes in government trade policies, including imposition of tariffs
and export restrictions; our ability to implement innovative technologies; underutilization
of manufacturing facilities as a result of industry overcapacity; we may not
be able to borrow funds under our credit facility or secure future financing;
we may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our debt; restrictions
imposed by the agreements governing our debt; volatility in the price of our
