Modern RF systems, from autonomous drones to satellite communications and industrial IoT, are increasingly driven by the demand for greater speed, flexibility, and rapid scalability. This ebook explores the transition from highly customized, application-specific architectures to more agile development approaches that can keep pace with increasingly tight deadlines.
Qorvo offers industry-leading expertise and solutions that help designers meet the challenges of modern radio frequency systems. Its flexible portfolio includes high-Q BAW filters for coexistence management and gallium arsenide (GaAs) heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) that enable dynamic voltage scaling. By providing broadband products that make high performance more accessible, Qorvo is driving the next generation of frequency-agile communication systems.
The QPA9510, available from Mouser, is a high-efficiency, sub-1 GHz broadband power amplifier built with Qorvo's advanced GaAs technology. It offers up to 34 dB of gain and can achieve a P1 dB output power of +35 dBm, as well as providing flexible polarization configuration options. This amplifier is designed for use in portable and long-range wireless communications, such as public safety radios, RFID, IoT, and telematics.
Qorvo's high-performance QPQ3550 volume acoustic wave (BAW) bandpass filter operates in the 3.55 to 3.70 GHz range, targeting 3GPP band 48 and the CBRS spectrum. Designed for compact, high-performance radio designs in 5G mMIMO networks, the QPQ3550 offers a wide bandwidth of 150 MHz, low insertion loss of up to 2.7 dB, and excellent out-of-band rejection, making it ideal for small cell, fixed wireless access (FWA), and CBRS radio deployments. With its compact size, high power handling capacity, and industry-leading filtering characteristics, the QPQ3550 provides an efficient, ready-to-use solution for next-generation broadband, small cell, and FWA systems.
The QPL9058 is a high-linearity, ultra-low-noise amplifier housed in a compact 2 × 2 mm surface-mount package, ideal for satellite and drone communications. Operating at 3.6 GHz, it typically delivers 18 dB of gain, an OIP3 of +36 dBm with a 54 mA bias, and a low noise figure of 0.6 dB. Furthermore, the device features an integrated power-off control function, making it ideal for time-division duplexing (TDD) applications.
