F6212 - Dual-Beam Rx Active Beamforming

General Description

The F6212 is a 16-channel dual-beam receive active beamforming RFIC multi-chip module designed for application in Ka-Band SATCOM planar phased array antennas.

The IC has eight RF input ports, two RF output ports, and 16 (8 per beam) phase/amplitude control channels.

Key Features

  • such as a low-power standby mode, independent enable controls on every channel, and a single-beam mode activated via a dedicated control pin. An integrated Hi-Q bandpass filter provides rejection of SATCOM Tx and 5G mmWave signals, improving the dynamic range without additional power consumption. The device SPI bus and control pins operate from standard 1.8V logic at speeds up to 50MHz. Advanced digital modes and large on-chip memory allow for < 100ns beam position switching times at the array l.

Dual-Beam Rx Active Beamforming IC F6212 17.7 – 21.2 GHz Short-Form Datasheet Description The F6212 is a 16-channel dual-beam receive active beamforming RFIC multi-chip module designed for application in Ka-Band SATCOM 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). Each channel has 6 bits of digital phase and gain control resolution spanning 360° and 26dB of dynamic range, enabling precise beam pattern and polarization control. The IC operates from two supply rails of 2.1 - 2.5V and 0.95 - 1.05V with a typical channel gain of 28dB.
