Qorvo QPM1002 8.5–10.5GHz GaN T/R Modules
Qorvo QPM1002 GaN T/R Modules offer an 8.5GHz to 10.5GHz frequency range designed for X-Band radar applications. The QPM1002 modules are comprised of a T/R switch, a low-noise amplifier, and a power amplifier. The receive path provides a 25dB gain with a 2.2dB low noise figure. Alternately, the transmit path provides a 33dB small signal gain and can deliver 3W saturated power with a 32% PAE, with a 25dB large signal gain.
The QPM1002 features up to 2W input power into the ANT port eliminating the need for a limiter. The module is fabricated on QGaN25 0.25µm GaN-on-SiC process. The QPM1002 performs well in high-temperature environments within a 5mm x 5mm QFN surface mount package with an over-mold encapsulant, coupled with a high thermal conductivity die-attach process. The device supports tight lattice spacing requirements needed for X-Band phased array radar applications due to its compact size.
