Mingjiada Electronics (Shenzhen) — Specializing in the Supply and Recycling of AWS-0104 Beamforming ICs, Helping Reduce Costs and Improve Efficiency in Radar and 5G Phased Array Systems
In modern radar and 5G communication systems, phased array antenna technology is key to achieving fast beam scanning and high-gain coverage. At the heart of this technology lies high-performance beamforming ICs. The Qorvo (formerly Anokiwave) AWS-0104, a highly integrated X-band quad-core beamformer, is delivering revolutionary SWaP-C (size, weight, power, and cost) advantages to the commercial radar, meteorological monitoring, and 5G communications sectors.
What Is the AWS-0104?
The AWS-0104 is a silicon-based quad-core beamforming IC designed specifically for radar and 5G phased array applications. It operates in the X-band (8.5 to 10.55 GHz), supports four radiating elements, and integrates single-beam transmit and receive capabilities. The chip contains all necessary beam steering control logic and enables high-precision beamforming and beam shaping through 6-bit phase and gain control.

Typical Applications for the AWS-0104
1. Commercial and Weather Radar
The AWS-0104 is an ideal choice for low-power Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar systems. When paired with a T/R switch, it provides a plug-and-play antenna solution that significantly reduces system SWaP-C. Whether for Doppler radar in weather monitoring or collision-avoidance radar in civil aviation, the AWS-0104 delivers highly reliable X-band beam control.
2. 5G Communication Systems
With the evolution of 5G millimeter-wave and sub-6G bands, the X-band plays a crucial role in certain private networks and backhaul scenarios. The AWS-0104 meets the requirements of 5G phased-array antennas for high linearity and fast beam switching, and supports multi-chip SPI-controlled cascading, enabling easy scaling to large-scale arrays.
