COMPONENTS
Beamformer and IF Up-/Down- Converter ICs
Anokiwave Inc. introduced its fourth generation high efficiency multi-band Si IC family. The new IC family greatly pushes the levels of performance and cost to a point where network operators can start to accelerate the builds of greener, lower cost and smaller form factor mmWave 5G radios, for every 3GPP FR2 band. The ICs in this family are the 24 to 30 GHz AWMF-0221, a dual-quad channel, dual polarization beamforming IC and the AWMF-0210, a wideband IF up-/down-converter IC.

Wi-Fi 6 FEM
RFMW announces design and sales support for a Wi-Fi (802.11n-ax) front-end module (FEM). The Qorvo QPF4216B FEM delivers higher power and better throughput in Wi-Fi 802.11ax systems than competing devices. Integrated matching minimizes layout area and the device is pinned out so external filtering can be added in the optimal position. Performance features include 22 dBm Pout (at -43 dB DEVM) and 26 dBm Pout (at MCSO HT20). Transmit gain is 32 dB while receive noise figure is 1.8 dB. 5 GHz signals are filtered with 15 dB rejection.
