Qorvo extends multi-chip modules for radar
Qorvo has announced three new highly integrated RF multi-chip modules (MCMs) designed for advanced radar applications across X-, S- and L- bands.
Doug Bostrom, general manager of Qorvo's Defense and Aerospace business, said, “These new multi-chip modules combine several functions into one package, reducing board area, boosting performance and streamlining both design and assembly for our customers."
The QPF5001 12W X-band front-end module (FEM) combines a power amplifier, low noise amplifier (LNA), and limiter in one compact module, reducing the board area by approximately 50 percent compared to discrete component solutions
The QPM2101 S-band receive variable gain amplifier (VGA) MCM integrates an LNA, 6-bit digital step attenuator, Rx buffer and T/R switch, delivering a 40 percent reduction in board area.
Finally, the QPB1029 L-band filter bank MCM integrates two switches on both sides of eight filters and a bypass. Housed in a 10 x 10 mm package, it is the industry’s smallest L-band radar eight-channel switched filter bank, enabling radar designers to achieve size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) goals.
Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
