Qorvo's QPA2609 is a packaged, high-performance, low noise amplifier fabricated on Qorvo's production 90nm pHEMT (QPHT09) process. Covering 7-14 GHz, the QPA2609 provides 26 dB small signal gain and P1dB of 18 dBm, while supporting a noise figure of 1.1 dB and IM3 levels of −50 dBc (at Pout=0 dBm/tone).
Packaged in a small 4 mm x 4 mm plastic overmold QFN, the QPA2609 is matched to 50 ohms with integrated DC blocking caps on both I/O ports for easy handling and simple system integration.
The QPA2609 high performance and ease of handling makes it ideal for satellite, point to point communication systems, and radar systems.
Typical Applications
- VSAT Communications
- Point to Point Communications
- Radar

X-Microwave Design System
This product is available as an X-Microwave Block (X-MWblock) for evaluation.
X-MWblocks are RF and microwave "drop-in" components that can be used individually for prototyping or in production assemblies. X-MWblocks are easy to test, integrate, align, and configure to 60 GHz and beyond. No messy sweat soldering or silver epoxy processes are required. X-MWblocks are highly characterized with S-parameter models and connect with a patented solder-less interconnect technology.
