Containing 6 bits phase control, 6 bits attenuation control, and 26 dB gain, X-Band Core Chip (MAMF-011015) integrates CMOS logic driver with GaAs Transmit/Receive MMIC within SMT, 7 x 7 mm, QFN package. This serial/parallel interface, suited for commercial radar applications, comprises common leg circuit with digital attenuators, phase shifters, low noise receive chain, and transmit driver amplifier. Integrated circuit utilizes 0.25 µm PHEMT process and is intended for 8–11 GHz range.
