AWMF-0236
37 - 43.5 GHz Dual Polarization Quad 4x2 Beamformer
Qorvo's AWMF-0236 is a highly integrated silicon RF beamforming IC (BFIC) built on our proven quad channel, dual polarization CMOS platform. This modular architecture delivers industry leading antenna performance across multiple end user applications with benchmark linear RF power and DC power efficiency, seamlessly supporting higher signal bandwidths and modulations. Each BFIC includes beam steering controls for compliance with all 3GPP standards. Half duplex operation with dual polarization allows a single antenna aperture per sector coverage.
The new Gen-4 IC family supports OEMs goal of net-zero emissions and is the industry's first multi-band solution providing higher EIRP and efficiency for smaller arrays, all while supporting higher bandwidth and modulations.
Consider AWMF-0218 IF Up/Down Converter IC or AWMF-0196 Dual Channel IF Transceiver IC for a full RF solution.
