Greensboro, NC, March 4, 2025 – Qorvo^® (Nasdaq: QRVO), a leading global provider of connectivity and power solutions, today unveiled its newest silicon Ku-band SATCOM beamformer IC family for phased array-based user terminals.  These next-generation ICs set a new benchmark for SATCOM user terminals, reducing DC power consumption by 25% for transmit arrays and 14% for receive arrays, delivering industry-leading efficiency without compromising EIRP or noise sensitivity.

Designed to meet the growing demand for high-speed, reliable satellite communications, the AWMF-0240 receive (Rx) and AWMF-0241 transmit (Tx) beamformer ICs operate at Ku-band frequencies. They offer advanced features including full polarization flexibility, precise beamsteering and built-in temperature stability in a compact, stable design without requiring external low noise amplifiers (LNAs) or complex calibration.  

"With the launch of our Ku-band beamformer ICs, Qorvo sets a new benchmark for efficiency, performance and cost-effectiveness in the rapidly growing SATCOM terminal market," said Doug Bostrom, general manager of Qorvo’s Defense and Aerospace business. "These solutions address the critical needs of both commercial and defense applications, enabling our customers to deliver next-generation connectivity with compact, power-efficient and highly reliable phased array systems." 

The SATCOM terminal market is poised for very strong growth over the next several years due to the surging demand for high-speed, reliable connectivity around the globe. As satellite networks expand, Qorvo’s new beamforming ICs are designed to meet these evolving needs, delivering high performance and efficiency in a streamlined solution for SATCOM terminal providers.

AWMF-0240 and AWMF-0241 are now sampling with key accounts, with volume production planned for the first quarter of 2026. Qorvo also provides evaluation kits upon request. 

Qorvo is expanding its SATCOM portfolio with additional beamforming solutions, including new configurations and frequencies expected later this year to support next-gen satellite communications. For more information on space and terrestrial SATCOM solutions, visit Qorvo’s SATCOM Solutions site.
