Renesas Electronics F6102
The F6102 is an 8-element receiver silicon IC designed using a SiGe BiCMOS process for Ka-Band SATCOM phased array applications. The core IC has 6-bit phase control coupled with 30dB gain control on each channel to achieve fine beam steering and gain compensation between radiating elements. The device has 16dB nominal electric gain and -30dBm IP1dB.DESCRIPTION
The core chip achieves an RMS phase error of 3° and RMS gain error of 0.3dB over the frequency of operation. The typical total power consumption is 0.32W (40mW per channel). Competitive Advantage● High integration
