Qorvo QPC2420EVB Evaluation Board
Qorvo QPC2420EVB Evaluation Board is a dedicated evaluation platform for the QPC2420, an ultra‑wideband silicon-on-insulator (SOI) single‑pole, double‑throw (SPDT) reflective RF switch operating from 0.02GHz to 30GHz. The board provides a fully assembled, lab‑ready environment that allows engineers to characterize the switch’s broadband performance, including insertion loss, isolation, switching speed, and RF settling behavior, under realistic test conditions.
Designed to replicate optimal RF performance, the board incorporates controlled‑impedance RF traces and proper grounding techniques consistent with Qorvo’s recommended layout guidelines. This ensures accurate assessment of key device parameters such as <1.5dB insertion loss, >40dB isolation at 30GHz, and fast switching times below 50ns.
The evaluation board comes populated with the QPC2420 in a compact 2.25mm × 2.25mm flip‑chip laminate package, providing short RF signal paths and low parasitics to match real‑world implementation conditions. It offers easy access to RF input/output ports and 0V / +3V control logic, simplifying integration with test equipment such as VNAs, signal generators, and digital control hardware.
Ideal for broadband system development, electronic warfare (EW), test instrumentation, and high‑isolation switching applications, the Qorvo QPC2420EVB accelerates evaluation and design‑in by delivering a turnkey platform that allows engineers to quickly validate device behavior across the entire frequency range.
