The F6415 is an 8-channel, dual-polarized, transmit/receive active beamforming IC (TRX BFIC) designed for use in X/Ku-band planar phased array antennas. The BFIC has eight antenna ports with independent phase/amplitude control channels and two common ports, allowing for independent combining and distribution of vertical and horizontal signal paths. All inputs and outputs are single-ended and 50Ω matched for ease of integration onto phased array antenna panels.
The F6415 has integrated high-resolution voltage DACs designed to provide T/R-synchronized gate bias control signals to external GaAs/GaN front-end modules (FEMs). It also contains an ADC and dedicated voltage sensing pins for voltage sensing from off-chip power detectors.
