General Description

The AWS-0101 is a highly integrated silicon quad core IC intended for RADAR and 5G phased array applications. The device

supports four radiating elements, single beam transmit, and dual beam receive and includes all requisite beam steering controls for

6 bit phase and gain control. The device provides 20 dB gain during transmit mode, 20 dB gain in receive mode, +13 dBm output

power during transmit, and 4.0 dB NF during receive. Additional features include gain compensation over temperature, temperature

reporting, and fast beam switching using eight on-chip beam weight storage registers. The device features ESD protection on all

pins, operates from +1.8 V, and is packaged in a 56 lead 7x7 mm QFN for easy installation in planar phased array antennas.
