AWMF-0106
8.5 - 10.55 GHz X-Band Dual Rx, Single Tx Beam Front End Module
Key Features
- 8.5 to 10.55 GHz operation
- Integrated PA/LNA/limiter/switch
- Integrated output power detector
- Active biased PA
- Active self-biased LNA
- Dual Rx outputs for dual Rx beam phased array applications
Qorvo's AWMF-0106 is an integrated power amplifier, low noise amplifier, limiter, and T/R switch intended for radar phased array applications.
The IC features high Tx output power for HPA drive, Tx output power detection, active bias of the power amplifier stages, and active self-bias of the low noise amplifier stages. Dual Rx outputs are provided to enable dual Rx beam phased array applications all with a single positive power supply.
Consider AWS-0103 X-Band Beamformer IC for a full RF solution.
Typical Applications
- Commercial and Weather Radars

AWMF-0106
The developer kit (AWMF-0106-DL) includes all hardware required to interface to the AWMF-0106 in drain switching mode. It enables full evaluation and RF testing of the IC. The test board has been carefully designed to easily replicate the performance of the device. DC power is supplied to the test board through the supplied cable assembly and drain switching pulser board. A full set of measured data is included to provide reference performance for each Developer Kit. Evaluation of the AWMF-0106 with the Developer Kit will significantly shorten the time to become familiar with the operation and performance of the product, thereby reducing system development time and cost.
