AWMF-0218
37 - 43.5 GHz IF Up/Down Converter
Qorvo's AWMF-0218 is a highly integrated silicon frequency-conversion IC intended for 5G phased array applications. When used together with our beamformer IC products, this device enables low-cost, high-performance, and feature-rich 5G phased array systems. The half-duplex IC integrates Tx single-sideband up-conversion and Rx image-reject down-conversion functionality. An on-chip frequency multiplier simplifies board-level integration with external PLLs.
The IF up/down converter ICs are fully compatible with the respective beamformer ICs, sharing common mechanical and electrical interfaces, and designed for cascade integration from IF to antenna and back.
Consider AWMF-0236 Dual Polarization Quad 4x2 Beamformer IC for a full RF solution.
