F6122S

The F6122 is a 16-ch dual-beam receive active beamforming RFIC designed for application in K/Ka-Band SATCOM planar phased array antennas. The IC has eight RF input ports, two RF outputports and 16 (8 per beam) phase/amplitude control channels. The eight input ports of the IC may be driven by eight single-polarized elements or four dual-polarized elements of an electronicallyscanned array (ESA). Each channel has 6-bits of digital phase and gain control resolution spanning 360° and 28dB of dynamic range,enabling precise beam pattern and polarization control.
