Qorvo Strengthens Radar Agility With BAW-Based S-Band Switched Filter Bank Modules
Qorvo, a leading provider of innovative RF solutions, today introduced two high-performance S-Band switched filter bank (SFB) modules designed to meet the rising demand for agile, compact and efficient radar systems in defense and aerospace applications.
As radar platforms evolve to support multi-function capabilities in compact form factors, designers need faster frequency agility and tighter spectral control. Qorvo’s new QPB1034 and QPB1036 modules meet these needs with integrated BAW filtering and fast-switching logic in a compact 6 x 6 mm package—reducing size while enhancing performance.
“Qorvo’s switched filter bank modules enable radar designers to reduce size and complexity without sacrificing performance,” said Dean White, senior director of Defense and Aerospace Market Strategy at Qorvo. “Our BAW technology enables unmatched rejection and channel density in a fully integrated form factor—making these solutions ideal for agile radar front ends.”
The QPB1034 and QPB1036 modules, sampling now, integrate high-selectivity BAW filters and bypass paths into compact packages, supporting S-Band radar systems that require rapid tuning and precise signal control. The QPB1034 is optimized for lower S-Band frequencies, while the QPB1036 offers broader coverage and higher channel density, while keeping the same fast switching speed. Below is a list of product specifications:
