Beamforming RFIC designed for Ku-Band
The F6513S is an 8-channel, transmit, active beamforming, RFIC from Renesas that is designed for application in Ku-Band (14.4 to 17.3 GHz) planar phased array antennas for communications or radar applications.
It is available at distributor RFMW.
The IC has a single common RF input port and eight output channels.
The eight independently controlled output channels can drive eight single-polarized elements or four dual-polarized elements of an electronically scanned array (ESA).
Each channel has 6-bits of digital phase control covering 360° and 25 dB of gain control with a minimum step size of 0.2 dB, enabling precise beam pattern and polarization control.
Operating from a single supply of 2.1–2.5 V, the F6513S has 23 dB of nominal small signal gain with a typical P1dB of 12.5 dBm per channel.
