QPB9324
High Power Switch LNA Module
®
Product Overview
The Qorvo® QPB9324 is a highly integrated front-end
module targeted for TDD macro or picocell base stations.
The LNA switch module integrates RF functional blocks
such as a pin-diode based high power switch capable of
handling up to 52 W with an LTE signal (8 dB PAR) along
with two LNA stages. Further integration is also
implemented where the pin diode driver and dc-dc
converter circuits are implemented inside the module to
enable only the need for an external 5 V power supply. The
control voltage for the switch and gain control. mode is with
3.3 V logic.

Key Features
The QPB9324 can be utilized across the 3.4-3.6 GHz range
to provide 1.2 dB noise figure for operation in the receive
mode and 0.5 dB insertion loss in the transmit mode. The
LNAs utilize Qorvo’s high performance E-pHEMT process
while the switch allows for power levels up to 330 W peak
power to be routed to an external load termination.
• 3.4-3.6 GHz frequency range
• Integrates a high-power switch, two LNA stages, pin
diode driver circuits, and dc converter
• Ideal for TDD systems with an isolator
• Only requires a 5 V supply with 3.3 V logic control
• Max RF Input power: 52 W Pavg (8 dB PAR)
• 33.8 dB gain
The QPB9324 is packaged in a RoHS-compliant, compact
8x8 mm surface-mount leadless package. The switch LNA
module is targeted for wireless infrastructure applications
configured for TDD-based architectures.
• 1.2 dB noise figure
• -0.6 dBm IIP3 (Rx mode)
• 0.5 dB Insertion Loss (Tx mode)
• Compact package size, 8x8 mm
