The AWMF-0236 from Anokiwave is a Beamformer IC (BFIC) that operates from 37 to 43.5 GHz covering n260 and n259 3GPP bands. It is built on Anokiwave’s proven quad channel, dual polarization CMOS platform, and supports both 5G-NR and Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ac/802.11ax) waveforms. It has a modular architecture that 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. It supports 4 dual-polarized or 8 single-polarized antenna configurations and operates in Tx/Rx half-duplex mode. The IC is available in an FC-CSP package.
