The F6521 is an 8-channel transmit active beamforming RFIC designed for application in Ku-band SATCOM planar phased array antennas. 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.

F6521 Features

* a low power standby mode as well as independent enable controls on every channel. The device’s SPI bus and control pins operate from standard 1.8V logic at speeds up to 50MHz. Advanced digital modes and large on-chip memory allows for < 100ns beam position switching times at the array level, greatly
