AWMF-0169
37 - 40 GHz Single Polarization Quad 4x1 Beamformer
Please use AWMF-0236 for new designs.
Key Features
- 37 to 40 GHz operation
- n260 3GPP band
- Supports 4 radiating elements
- Tx/Rx half duplex operation
- Single antenna for Tx and Rx
- Phase and gain control
- Fast beam steering
Qorvo's AWMF-0169 is a highly integrated silicon quad core IC intended for 5G phased array applications. The device supports four Tx/Rx radiating elements, includes all requisite beam steering controls for phase and gain control, and operates in half duplex fashion to enable a single antenna to support both Tx and Rx operation. Additional features include gain compensation over temperature, temperature reporting, Tx power telemetry, and fast beam switching using on-chip beam weight storage registers. The device features ESD protection on all pins, operates from +1.8 V and +2.5 V supplies, and is packaged WLCSP (wafer level chip scale package) for easy flip chip installation in planar phased array antennas.
The Gen-2 5G ICs were the first 3GPP compliant commercially available ICs for 5G.
Typical Applications
- 3GPP compliant 5G communications arrays in the n260 band
