AWMF-0224
24 - 30 GHz Dual Channel IF Transceiver
Contact Qorvo Beamforming Sales for more information.
Key Features
- 24.25 to 29.5 GHz operation
- n258, n257, and n261 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-0224 is the industry's first fully integrated dual channel IF up/down converter 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-0221 Dual Polarization Quad 4x2 Beamformer IC for a full RF solution.
Typical Applications
- 3GPP compliant 5G communications arrays in the n258, n257, and n261 bands
