The PRS1520 from Peraso is a Beamforming IC that operates in the mmWave range from 24-29.5 GHz and 37-43.5 GHz. It supports n257, n258, n259, n260, and n261 5G bands and has an EIRP of 43 dBm (n261). This module has an integrated 16-element dual-polarized antenna array and an internal CPU with beam control and automatic calibration. It supports dual-stream MIMO with two independent 16-channel beamforming arrays (32 total channels). The module utilizes a scalable architecture that can be tailored to a host of mmWave-enabled, 5G devices, including customer premise equipment (CPE), laptops, tablets, and hotspots.
The PRS1520 requires a DC supply of 5 V and can be controlled via a USB-C interface. It is available in a package that measures 50 x 92 mm and is ideal for end-user equipment, including fixed wireless access (FWA) CPE.
