QPF4006
37 –ꢀ40.5ꢀGHz GaN Front End Module
Product Description
The QPF4006 is a multi-function Gallium Nitride MMIC
front-end module targeted for 39 GHz phased array 5G
base stations and terminals. The device combines a low
noise high linearity LNA, a low insertion-loss high-isolation
TR switch, and a high-gain high-efficiency multi-stage PA.
The QPF4006 operates from 37 GHz to 40.5 GHz range.
The receive path (LNA+TR SW) is designed to provide
18dB of gain and a noise figure less than 4.5 dB. The
transmit path (PA+SW) provides 23 dB of small signal gain
and a saturated output power of 2 W.
The compact 4.5 mm x 4.0 mm surface mount package
configuration is designed to meet the tight lattice spacing
requirements for phased array applications.
The QPF4006 is fabricated on Qorvo’s 0.15um GaN on
SiC process. It is housed in an air-cavity laminate package
with an embedded copper heat slug. The copper slug,
coupled with a low thermal resistance die-attach process,
allows the QPF4006 to operate at the extreme case
temperatures needed in phased array applications.
