Renesas Electronics F6921
The F6921 is an ultra-low power consumption, dualchannel, low noise amplifier (LNA) RFIC designed for application in Ku-Band SATCOM planar phased array antennas. The exceptional combination of low power consumption, low noise, high gain, and compact size, maximizes the antenna array G/T while minimizing overall system power dissipation. The F6921 includes two independent gain/phase matched LNA channels in a compact 23-pin, 0.5mm pitch BGA package.DESCRIPTION
An external bias current provides gain control, standby mode and temperature compensation. All inputs and outputs are single-ended and 50Ω matched for ease of integration on to phased array antenna panels. VDD1 CH1 RFI1 RFO1 [1] [2] IREF CH2 RFI2 RFO2 [3] [4] F6921 VDD2 Figure 1.
