M/A-COM Technology Solutions has developed an integrated core chip for the 8 GHz – 11 GHz frequency range. Containing 6 bits of phase control, 6 bits of attenuation control and 26 dB of gain, the X-Band Core Chip (MAMF-011015) has an easy to use serial/parallel interface in a surface mount QFN package. Ideal for commercial radar applications, this integrated MMIC enables radar systems in early detection and warning for severe impending weather. The IC integrates a CMOS logic driver with a GaAs transmit/receive MMIC in a 7 x 7 mm plastic package. The packaged device comprises of a common leg circuit which includes digital attenuators, phase shifters, a low-noise receive chain and a transmit driver amplifier, as well as a CMOS logic driver.
