QPB9318 Dual-Channel Switch LNA Module Product Overview The QPB9318 is a highly integrated front-end module targeted for TDD base stations. The LNA switch module integrates a two-stage LNA and a high power switch in a dual channel configuration. Power down capability for the LNAs can be controlled with shut-down pins for the module. The QPB9318 can be utilized across the 2.33.8GHz 32 Pad 5mmx5mm leadless SMT Package range to provide 1.3dB noise figure for operation in the receive mode and 0.5dB insertion loss in the transmit mode. The LNAs utilize Qorvos high performance E- Key Features pHEMT process while the pin-diode based switch supports input RF power signals of up to 10W average power 2.3-3.8 GHz Frequency Range assuming 8dB PAR. Integrates dual channels of a two-stage LNA with a high power switch The QPB9318 is packaged in a RoHS-compliant, compact 5mm x 5mm surface-mount leadless package. The switch Max RF Input power: 10W Pavg (8 dB PAR) LNA module is targeted for wireless infrastructure 1.3 dB Noise Figure (Rx mode) applications configured for TDD-based MIMO 30.5 dB Gain (Rx mode) architectures. The module can be used for next generation +33.5 dBm OIP3 (Rx mode) 5G or pre-5G solutions or small cell basestation 0.5 dB Insertion Loss (Tx mode) applications.
