Ka-Band SATCOM Transmitter IC 27GHz to 31GHz
F6502 Advance Short-Form Datasheet
Description
The F6502 is an 8-channel transmitter (TX) silicon IC designed using a SiGe BiCMOS process for Ka-Band SATCOM phased array applications. The core IC has 360° 6-bit phase control coupled with 35dB 6-bit gain control on each channel to achieve fine beam steering and gain compensation between radiating channels. The device has a 25dB nominal gain and 13dBm OP1dB. The core chip achieves an RMS phase error of 3° and an RMS gain error of 0.4dB over the frequency of operation. The typical total power consumption is 1.6W (200mW per channel) at OP1dB.
