AWMF-0238

AWMF-0238

17.7 - 21.2 GHz K-Band Quad 4x2 Rx Beamformer IC

The AWMF-0238 is Qorvo's latest CMOS K-band Receive (Rx) SATCOM beamformer IC covering 17.7 to 21.2 GHz with four, dual polarization radiating elements that can support full polarization flexibility. With low coherent noise figure, higher accuracy temp sensing and a new compact package, the new AWMF-0238 sets a new industry benchmark in CMOS beamformers for satellite communications.
 
The AWMF-0238 is complemented with the Ka-band Transmit (Tx) SATCOM beamformer IC: AWMF-0239. Using AWMF-0238 and AWMF-0239 together, satellite user terminal providers can now achieve industry's smallest, lowest power, highest efficiency and cost-effective phased array active antennas.
