QPM1002
8.5 –ꢀ10.5ꢀGHz GaN T/R Module
Product Description
The QPM1002 is a Gallium Nitride MMIC front-end
module (FEM) designed for X-Band radar applications
within the 8.5 – 10.5 GHz range. The MMIC combines a
T/R switch, low-noise amplifier, and a power amplifier.
The receive path offers 25 dB gain with low noise figure
of 2.2 dB. The transmit path offers a small signal gain of
33 dB, it can deliver 3 W of saturated power with a PAE
of 32%, with a 25 dB of large signal gain. The FEM is
robust up to 2 W of input power into the ANT port
eliminating the need for a limiter.
The QPM1002 is fabricated on Qorvo's QGaN25 0.25um
GaN-on-SiC process. The 5 x 5 mm QFN surface mount
package with over-mold encapsulant, coupled with high
thermal conductivity die-attach process, allows the
QPM1002 to perform well in a high temperature
environment. Its compact size supports tight lattice
spacing requirements needed for X-Band phased array
radar applications.
