TRX BF/02
Industry leading 5G NR RFIC for 24 – 29.5 GHz
The worldwide 5G race pushes the industry to use more cost-effective solutions. The Sivers Semiconductors TRX BF/02 supports the full frequency range from 24 to 29.5 GHz with speeds up to 5 Gbit/s. The unique level of integration enables support for different markets and frequency bands using the same hardware. The perfect choice for licensed 5G. The TRX BF/02, is a highly integrated 16+16 channel beam forming transceiver Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC). With the Zero-IF/Low IF baseband interface, it can easily be integrated with any 5G mmWave modem.
Key features
• 24-29.5 GHz
• 3GPP compliant for 5G New Radio (NR) mmWave
• Supported throughput 5 Gbit/s
• Enables 256 QAM OFDM and beyond
• 16+16 Tx/Rx Array
• Direct conversion I/Q transceiver
• Zero-IF/Low IF with 1.2 GHz bandwidth
• Integrated beam book for instant beam steering/forming
• +25 dBm combined linear output power
• 7 dB Noise Figure
• Embedded Wafer Level Ball Grid Array (eWLB) packaged device
• Seamless modem integration through integrated analog baseband
The TRX BF/02 enables full transceiver design with a unique high level integration. It is also possible to tile several RFICs together in bigger arrays for longer reach and greater performance. Less discrete components mean less cost and higher quality - critical parameters to consider when designing a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). The transceiver supports full temperature range of -40 to +85 deg C, a unique wide band coverage of 24 – 29.5 GHz, superior link budget, flexible channelization and excellent Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) performance which enable 256 QAM OFDM modulation or more. All of which makes the TRX BF/02 uniquely well fitted for outdoor infrastructure 5G mmWave applications. SIVERS SEMICONDUCTORS | SIVERS-SEMICONDUCTORS.COM | [email protected]

AFE VM 2Q 275/295
5G NR dual quad beamformer for 24-29.5 GHz
5G coverage in higher frequencies require
multiple high-power antennas for distance
and throughput. The challenge is to reach
many end users with both high data rates
and efficiency.
The dual quad core Radio Frequency Integrated
Circuit (RFIC) is intended for 5G dual polarized
phased antenna array applications. Unmatched
scalability enables very large array configurations
while limiting the number of digital
interfaces. Due to its flexible control interface,
scalability and low power dissipation, it is the
perfect choice for 5G NR beamforming applications.
Moreover, factory calibration provides unmatched
simplicity at installation.
Key features
• 24.25 GHz-27.5 GHz (AFEVM2Q275)
• 26.5 GHz-29.5 GHz (AFEVM2Q295)
• 8 individually controlled Rx and Tx beamforming
sections
• Horizontal and vertical polarization beamformers
• 5.625° phase resolution (6 bit) control in Tx and
Rx mode
• Beam settling rate < 10 ns)
• 0.5 dB amplitude resolution control in Tx and Rx mode
• Pout1dB > +18dBm per Tx path
• Rx noise figure < 5dB
• 1.8V analog and digital supply
The RFIC includes two common ports, one for each polarization, which are connected to the dual quad antenna
connections. Time Division Duplex (TDD) mode is set independently for the horizontal and vertical polarization
beamformer. The RFIC is packaged in a Wafer Level Chip Scale Package (WL-CSP) with a ball out optimized for
connection of the patch antenna with only few layers.
The gain and phase of the transmit and receive sections (Tx/Rx) are individually controlled over a high speed Low-Voltage
Differential Signaling (LVDS) interface allowing on the fly beam adjustment. Fast beam setting updates for dynamic beam control is
useful in a multi-user environment. Various telemetry, such as output power and chip temperature, is reported over the high-
speed interface. The low noise amplifier in combination with a low loss receive/transmit switch provides low system noise figure.
The RFIC is factory calibrated to ensure low spread between devices, temperature compensation and minimized Over-the-Air (OTA)
calibration at system level.
The AFE VM 2Q 275/295 is packaged with a pin configuration optimized for connection to an antenna array using few layers and
short traces. The package is Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)-compliant, and the device can operate from -40°C to
+85°C.NR waveforms with different configurations may be generated in the modem simulation framework and uploaded to the
RFSoC. The waveform/IQ samples are then transmitted through the data-converters to the Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit
(RFIC).system integration.
The chip features a transmit section with the combination
of superior linearity, high output power and low DC power
dissipation.
