Ku-Band SATCOM Receiver IC
10GHz to 14GHz
F6101 Advance
Short-Form Datasheet
Description
Features
The F6101 is an 8-channel receiver silicon IC designed using a
SiGe BiCMOS process for Ku-Band SATCOM phased array
applications. The core IC has 6-bit phase control coupled with more
than 30dB gain control on each channel to achieve fine beam
steering and gain compensation between channels. The device
has 15.5dB nominal electric gain and -23dBm IP1dB. The core chip
achieves an RMS phase error of 2.5° and RMS gain error of 0.25dB
over the frequency of operation. The typical total power con-
sumption is 0.34W (43mW per channel).
