    Contact Qorvo Beamforming Sales for more information.

    Key Features

    • 37 to 48.2 GHz operation
    • n260, n259, and n262 3GPP bands
    • Dual channel supporting dual polarization with a single IC
    • On-chip LO synthesizer
    • On-chip selectable LO for multiple use cases
    • FC-CSP package and small footprint for low-cost arrays
    • Offers significantly better LO phase noise than commercial off the shelf available parts

    Qorvo's AWMF-0196 is the latest addition to the famiy of fully integrated dual channel IF up/down converters with integrated PLL/VCO LO synthesizer. The half-duplex IC integrates dual Tx single-sideband up-conversion, dual Rx image-reject down-conversion functionality, and an on-chip LO synthesizer that enables 2T2R applications within a single die. An on-chip frequency multiplier simplifies board-level integration for use with either an internal frequency synthesizer or an external PLL.

    New features for this generation include on-chip selectable LO multiplication, high IF support, LO multiplexing to remove need for external switches for MIMO operation, and a high-power PA eliminating the need for an external driver IC.

    Consider AWMF-0236 Dual Polarization Quad 4x2 Beamformer IC for a full RF solution.
