QPM2637
9 –ꢀ10.5ꢀGHz GaN T/R Module
Product Description
The QPM2637 is a Gallium Nitride MMIC front-end module
(FEM) designed for X-Band radar applications within the
9-10.5 GHz range. The MMIC combines a T/R switch,
low-noise amplifier, and a power amplifier. The receive
path has dual-outputs which offer 21dB gain and 2.7dB
noise figure. The transmit path delivers 4W of saturated
power with 23dB large signal gain. The FEM is a high
robustness device with up to 4W of input power into the
ANT port eliminating the need for a limiter.
The QPM2637 is fabricated on Qorvo's QGaN25 0.25um
GaN-on-SiC process. The air-cavity EHS (embedded
copper heat slug) surface mount package, coupled with a
low thermal resistance die-attach process, allows the
QPM2637 to perform well at extreme case temperatures.
Its compact size supports tight lattice spacing
requirements needed for X-Band phased array radar
applications.
