Ku-Band TDD Beamformer IC Enables Shared-Aperture Terminals
The AWMF-0247 adds TDD half-duplex capability to Qorvo�s BFIC portfolio. The device supports both transmit and receive paths in a single device. Designed for shared-aperture flat panel arrays, it enables compact, power-efficient terminals. Adjustable PA bias supports linear Tx performance for higher order modulations, and low noise figure improves Rx sensitivity. The highly integrated architecture reduces system complexity and is ideal for phased-array terminals in LEO, airborne and other power-constrained SATCOM platforms.�
