关键性能
- 13.75 to 14.5 GHz operation
- Supports 4 dual polarization radiating elements
- Flexible polarization (RHCP, LHCP, linear)
- 6-bit phase control / 7-bit gain control
- Gain compensation over temperature
- Temperature Reporting
- FC-CSP Packaging
The AWMF-0241 is Qorvo’s latest CMOS Ku-band Transmit (Tx) SATCOM beamformer IC covering 13.75 to 14.5 GHz with four, dual polarization radiating elements that can support full polarization flexibility. Additional features include gain compensation over temperature and temperature reporting. The chip features ESD protection on all pins, operates from a +1.2 V supply, and is packaged in a FC-CSP (Flip Chip Chip-Scale Package) for easy installation in planar phased array antennas.
The AWMF-0241 is complemented with the Ku-Band Receive (Rx) SATCOM beamformer IC: AWMF-0240. Using AWMF-0240 and AWMF-0241 together, satellite user terminal providers can now achieve industry’s smallest, lowest power, highest efficiency and cost-effective phased array active antennas.

AWMF-0241 Developer Kit
Qorvo's AWMF-0241-DL developer kit includes all hardware and software required to interface to the AWMF-0241. The kits enable full evaluation and RF testing of the developer kit with easily defined user interfaces. The test board has been carefully designed to easily replicate the performance of the device and to provide the necessary channel to channel isolation.
Calibration data is included to enable the removal of test board line losses. The SPI control is supported through a high-speed cable, interposer board and USB interface module. Driver software is supplied to provide control from a PC.
DC power is supplied to the test board through a separate cable assembly. A full set of measured data is included to provide reference performance for each Developer Kit.
Evaluation of the AWMF-0241 with the developer kit will significantly shorten the time to become familiar with the operation and performance of the product, thereby reducing system development time and cost.
