Please use AWA-0213 for new designs.
Qorvo's AWA-0134 is an active array for 5G wireless applications developed using planar antenna technology resulting in a very low profile, lightweight unit. The surface mount assembled antenna board is based on our AWMF-0108 Silicon Quad Core IC and demonstrates the performance achievable using low power silicon integration and efficient antenna layout and design. Using the AWMF-0108, the antenna provides +60dBmi (1000 W) of EIRP. The electronic 2D beam steering is achieved using analog RF beam forming, with independent phase and gain control in both Tx and Rx operating modes. The AWA-0134 antenna leads the way in showing how 5G coverage can be rolled out by network operators using the mmWave bands, with low power footprint and high energy efficiency, while meeting key operating specifications for data rate, latency, coverage, and reliability.
This antenna family, based on our Gen-1 ICs, was the industry's first commercially available electronically scanned active arrays that enabled fast prototyping and evaluation of 28 GHz 5G applications and were the basis of many 5G system demonstrations in 2017-present.
