The AWMF-0135 from Anokiwave is a highly integrated 26 GHz Silicon Quad Core IC that operates from 24.25 to 27.5 GHz. It has been developed for 3GPP Compliant 5G communications arrays at 26 GHz. The device supports four Tx/Rx radiating elements, includes all requisite beam steering controls for phase and gain control, and operates in half duplex fashion to enable a single antenna to support both Tx and Rx operation. It provides a gain of 23 dB and adjustable output power of 10 dBm during transmit mode and 26 dB coherent gain, 5 dB NF, and -21 dBm IIP3 during receive mode. The device requires a supply voltage from 1.8 V to 2.5 V and has ESD protection on all pins. It is available in a 3.6 mm x 3.6 mm WLCSP (wafer level chip scale package) and is ideal for 5G phased array applications.
