The AWS-0105 from Anokiwave is a highly integrated silicon quad core chip that operates from 8 GHz to 12 GHz. It supports four radiating elements, single beam transmit, and single beam receive and has been built for radar and 5G phased array applications. The device provides a gain of 21 dB, an output power of 15 dBm during transmit mode and an IIP3 of 7 dBm during receive mode. This quad core IC includes all requisite beam steering controls for 6-bit phase and gain control with fast beam switching using eight on-chip beam weight storage registers. It requires a supply of 1.8V and is available in a 56 lead, PQFN package that measures 7 x 7 mm. The AWS-0105 can be easily installed in planar phased array antennas.
