F6123 Overview
The F6123 is a 16-channel dual-beam receive active beamforming RFIC designed for application in Ku/CDL-Band planar phased array antennas. The IC has eight RF input ports, two RF output ports, and 16 (8 per beam) phase/amplitude control channels. The eight input ports of the IC can be driven by eight single-polarized elements or four dual-polarized elements of an electronically scanned array (ESA).
