Qorvo Drone Solutions
Qorvo Drone Solutions feature an extensive portfolio of RF components, power management, motor control, battery management, wireless connectivity, and force-sensor products. The advanced solutions include precise, real-time motor control to execute advanced algorithms. Sensorless control reduces the BOM and increases reliability, enabling precise, real-time motor control for higher efficiency and longer flight times. Accurate flight control prevents drone crashes by leveraging precise real-time 3D positioning and radar collision prevention. A long-range communication link between the drone and the controller, utilizing Qorvo GaAs LNAs and GaN PAs, extends the range. A small-form-factor single-chip BMSoC and intelligent PMICs for high-efficiency performance offer highly integrated power management solutions.
