QPM2101TR7

Overview

The QPM2101TR7 is an S-band receive variable gain amplifier monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) module manufactured by Qorvo. Designed for radar applications, it operates within a frequency range of 2.5 GHz to 4 GHz. The device requires a supply voltage between 2.5 V and 5 V, with specific operating specifications citing 3 V to 3.6 V. It is housed in a 48-lead QFN package measuring 7 mm by 7 mm.

Feature Summary

• Integrated variable gain amplifier functionality optimized for radar signal processing
• S-band operation covering 2.5 GHz to 4 GHz frequencies
• Compact 48-lead QFN surface-mount packaging

Applications

• Radar systems requiring S-band reception
• Electronic warfare receivers
• Military communication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact datasheet version and revision history before integration, as RF performance characteristics can vary between manufacturing lots. Confirm that the 48-QFN (7x7) footprint matches your PCB layout constraints precisely. Ensure thermal management strategies are adequate for the specified supply voltage range during high-power operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated receive VGA is needed for S-band radar architectures. Compare power consumption and gain linearity against discrete solutions to determine if the integrated MMIC approach offers sufficient size and performance benefits for the specific system requirements.
