Beamforming RFIC designed for Ku-Band

It is available at distributor RFMW.

The IC has a single common RF input port and eight output channels.

The eight independently controlled output channels can drive eight single-polarized elements or four dual-polarized elements of an electronically scanned array (ESA).

Each channel has 6-bits of digital phase control covering 360° and 25 dB of gain control with a minimum step size of 0.2 dB, enabling precise beam pattern and polarization control.

Operating from a single supply of 2.1–2.5 V, the F6513S has 23 dB of nominal small signal gain with a typical P1dB of 12.5 dBm per channel.
