QPQ1065TR7

Overview

The QPQ1065TR7 is a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) bandpass filter manufactured by Qorvo, designed for the Iridium AltNav frequency range. It operates within a center frequency of 1.621 GHz, covering a bandwidth from 1616.0 MHz to 1626.5 MHz. The component features a 5-SMD surface mount package and maintains a nominal impedance of 50 ohms without requiring external matching networks. It exhibits an insertion loss of 2.5 dB and a bandwidth of 10.5 MHz. The device supports operating temperatures between -40°C and +85°C and is supplied in a 7-inch taped reel containing 2500 pieces.

Feature Summary

• Integrated SAW technology optimized for high signal rejection in compact surface-mount form factors
• Engineered for direct 50-ohm system integration, eliminating the need for external impedance matching circuits
• Specialized design for Iridium AltNav satellite navigation applications with enhanced interference suppression

Applications

• Iridium AltNav satellite receiver front-end stages
• GNSS modules requiring specific L-band filtering
• Satellite communication terminals utilizing Iridium network protocols

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact revision status against the latest Qorvo documentation before implementation, as component revisions may affect mechanical or electrical tolerances. Confirm that the 5-SMD footprint matches your PCB layout constraints precisely. Ensure thermal management strategies align with the specified operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C during final assembly validation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems specifically targeting the Iridium AltNav spectrum between 1616.0 MHz and 1626.5 MHz. It is suitable for applications demanding low insertion loss and high out-of-band rejection without complex matching networks. Consider the 5-SMD package size for space-constrained portable devices. Validate compatibility with automated pick-and-place equipment given the tape-and-reel packaging format.

Part Context

This part belongs to Qorvo's lineup of RF SAW filters tailored for satellite navigation markets. It complements other bandpass filters in the portfolio by addressing specific regulatory bands for global positioning systems. The QPQ series typically emphasizes miniaturization and performance stability across varying environmental conditions, supporting modern multi-constellation receiver architectures.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific model. Evaluate alternative Iridium-compatible SAW filters only if they match the 1616.0–1626.5 MHz bandwidth and 5-SMD footprint requirements exactly.
