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.
