Mingjiada has been supplying and sourcing the AWS-0105 X-band beamforming IC for many years. We offer brand-new, genuine, in-stock products, along with professional product selection advice and quick quotes.
AWS-0105 Product Overview
The AWS-0105 is a highly integrated, silicon-based quad-core beamforming IC developed by Anokiwave (now acquired by Qorvo), specifically designed for X-band radar and 5G phased-array communication systems. The chip supports four radiating elements and features single-beam transmission and reception capabilities. It integrates complete 6-bit phase and gain control, enabling precise beam pointing and shaping.
When paired with the AWMF-0106 X-band front-end IC, this chip forms a plug-and-play antenna solution that significantly reduces the size, weight, power consumption, and cost (SWaP-C) of Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar systems. The AWS-0105 is housed in a 7x7 mm QFN package, facilitating integration into planar phased-array antennas.

AWS-0105 Key Features
Full X-band Coverage: Operating frequency range of 8.5–10.55 GHz, covering frequencies commonly used in commercial and weather radar applications
High-linearity design: Receive mode features high input linearity, suitable for complex signal environments
Flexible digital control: Gain and phase can be programmed directly via the SPI interface; supports multi-chip SPI cascading control
Fast beam switching: Features 8 on-chip beam weight storage registers, supporting rapid beam steering
Temperature compensation and telemetry: Includes temperature gain compensation, temperature reporting, and forward power telemetry
Single-Supply Operation: Requires only a single +1.8 V positive power supply, simplifying system power supply design
AWS-0105 Typical Application Scenarios
1. Commercial and Weather Radar Systems
The AWS-0105 is primarily targeted at X-band commercial and weather radar systems. Its high level of integration enables a more compact radar front-end design, while 6-bit phase control enables precise beam scanning, making it suitable for applications such as weather monitoring and air traffic control.
2. 5G Communication Infrastructure
This chip supports 5G phased array antenna systems and meets the stringent requirements of 5G millimeter-wave communication for beamforming and fast beam tracking. When used in conjunction with front-end ICs, it enables the construction of cost-effective 5G AESA antenna modules.
3. High-Power AESA Radar
When used in combination with the AWMF-0106 front-end IC, the AWS-0105 supports high-power active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar systems, effectively reducing system SWaP-C metrics.
