QPQ1061SR

Overview

The QPQ1061SR is a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filter manufactured by Qorvo, designed for L2 band GPS applications. It operates at a center frequency of 1.228 GHz with a usable bandwidth of 31 MHz. The component features low insertion loss of 2 dB and provides excellent rejection characteristics essential for precise GPS operation. Packaged in a compact 5-SMD, No Lead format, it supports surface mount technology for efficient PCB integration.

Feature Summary

• Optimized for L2 band GPS signal filtering
• Provides high isolation and excellent signal rejection
• Requires no external matching components for 50Ω operation

Applications

• GPS receiver front-end modules
• Navigation systems requiring L2 band support
• GNSS positioning devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix SR against the official Qorvo datasheet to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with your assembly process regarding the 5-SMD, No Lead package type. Cross-reference the part number with current manufacturer documentation to validate availability status and any potential lifecycle changes before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits specifically targeting the L2 GPS frequency band. Its integrated design eliminates the need for additional impedance matching networks, simplifying the schematic. Consider its physical dimensions and thermal properties relative to other SAW filters in the Qorvo portfolio to ensure adequate board space and heat dissipation for the target application.

Part Context

This device belongs to Qorvo's lineup of RF SAW filters, which are engineered for high-performance wireless communication systems. These components typically offer superior selectivity and power handling compared to discrete LC filters. The L2 band focus distinguishes it from standard L1-only GPS filters, catering to specialized navigation and surveying equipment requirements.

Replacement Considerations

QPQ1060 serves as a related alternative within the same family but targets the L1 band rather than L2. Verify frequency alignment carefully, as these parts are not electrically interchangeable due to their distinct center frequencies. Consult Qorvo for any newer generations or pin-compatible updates that may offer improved performance metrics.
