Typical X-Band Radar Implementation
Balancing noise figure and input linearity is key to RF receiver design, as higher gain improves sensitivity but increases distortion while stronger linearity reduces interference at the cost of sensitivity. The article describes how tuning gain and input linearity based on signal conditions lets RF receivers stay sensitive in quiet environments and resilient under interference.
The article explains how combining beamforming ICs with GaN and GaAs front-end modules creates compact, energy-efficient X-Band AESA radar systems that detect and track targets such as drones for modern defense applications.
The article explains how using true time delay units (TDUs), often alongside phase shifters, enables phased array antennas to steer wideband signals accurately without beam squint, improving beamforming and directivity across radar, communication and satellite systems.
Qorvo radar products include beamformers, GaN/GaAs front-end components, filters and defense-grade manufacturing that support land, sea, air and space platforms.
