Ku-Band Phased Array Tx-FE in TSMC 180nm RF

Overview

The TRV801TSM180RF IP is a Ku-Band (14GHz to 14.5GHz) Transmitter (Tx) in TSMC 180nm RF CMOS process technology. It integrates X+Y transmitter channels on the same die and its low power makes it especially suitable for use in high-throughput modular digital Phased-Array Antenna products for mobile/tethered satellite communication applications.
