General Description

The AWMF-0108 is a highly integrated silicon quad core IC intended for 5G phased array applications. The device supports four

Tx/Rx radiating elements, includes 5-bit phase and 5-bit gain control for analog RF beam steering, and operates in half duplex

fashion to enable a single antenna to support both Tx and Rx operation. The device provides 26 dB gain and +9 dBm output power

during transmit mode and 28 dB coherent gain, 5.0 dB NF, and -28 dBm IIP3 during receive mode. Additional features include gain

compensation over temperature, temperature reporting, Tx power telemetry, and fast beam switching using eight on-chip beam

weight storage registers. The device features ESD protection on all pins, operates from +1.8 V, and is packaged in a 48 lead 6x6

mm QFN for easy installation in planar phased array antennas.
