Qorvo QPX0252

7.9 – 12 GHz X-Band Dual Rx Single Tx Beamformer

The QPX0252 is Qorvo’s latest CMOS X-band beamforming IC optimized for advanced phased array radar systems operating in the 7.9 to 12 GHz range. The IC supports 4 antenna elements, with dual beam receive and multiple Tx/Rx modes selectable via SPI. The device integrates with Qorvo FEMs and Bias Control ICs, offering full bias control, sequencing, and telemetry in a compact FC-CSP package.

The QPX0252 delivers high output power, eliminating the need for external drivers at the board level, and cuts array calibration time with Qorvo’s patented Zero-Cal®. It supports quiet mode, fast beam steering and robust health monitoring, giving radar designers a compact, high-performance IC that simplifies integration and boosts system capability.
