New RF multi-chip modules from Qorvo for advanced radar applications
Qorvo has announced the launch of three new highly integrated RF multi-chip modules (MCMs) designed for advanced radar applications. The new modules are compact in size with lower noise and reduced power consumption needed for modern phased array and multifunction radar systems.
Key Features and Benefits:
● QPF5001 12W X-band front-end module (FEM): Combines a power amplifier, low noise amplifier (LNA), and limiter in one compact module, reducing the board area by approximately 50% compared to discrete component solutions
● QPM2101 S-band Receive variable gain amplifier (VGA) MCM: Integrates an LNA, 6-bit digital step attenuator, Rx buffer and T/R switch, delivering a 40% reduction in board area
● QPB1029 L-band filter bank MCM: Integrates two switches on both sides of eight filters and a bypass. Housed in a 10 x 10 mm package, it is the industry’s smallest L-band radar eight-channel switched filter bank, enabling radar designers to achieve size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) goals
