Anokiwave’s Latest 5G Solutions
The new Gen-4 mmW silicon ICs from Anokiwave offer a unique combination of industry’s highest linear power, output efficiency devices and a scalable architecture to address multiple 5G use cases. To cover the India 26 GHz 5G band, the IC family includes:
- AWMF-0221: 24 to 30 GHz dual polarization, quad channel, beamforming IC
- AWMF-0224: 24 to 30 GHz dual channel IF up/ down converter with integrated PLL/ VCO
- AWMF-0210: 24 to 30 GHz single channel IF up/down converter IC.
All ICs support 3GPP compliant 5G radio specs as well as high modulation bandwidths. To complement the IC portfolio, Anokiwave also offers a complete mmW Active Antenna Innovator Kit as a reference design and starting platform to evaluate and accelerate mmW 5G antenna designs.
Anokiwave’s Gen-4 ICs offer some unique benefits for ODMs, OEMs, and Operators developing mmW 5G radios:
- Just two (2) IC types to build a complete mmW to IF 26 GHz 5G Active Antenna
- Fewest ICs for high performance mmW 5G active antenna front ends
- Small form factor and lower DC power by leveraging high power efficiency (PAE%) and smart integration
- Eliminate the need for radio level calibration by leveraging patented Zero-Cal® feature
- Flexibility to scale the design to meet specific radio performance, cost, power, and baseband requirements
- Faster time to market by leveraging already available mmW antenna Innovator Kits
“With the high user density and exponentially increasing demand for data per capita, India is uniquely and perfectly suited for adoption of mmW 5G, and Anokiwave is delighted to bring its latest Gen-4 ICs to enable this build out,” stated Abhishek Kapoor, Anokiwave VP of Sales. “Since the start of the mmW 5G market in 2016, Anokiwave has been the trusted choice of mmW silicon ICs for the ODMs and operators worldwide. Today I am honored to bring this enabling technology to the country that I spent two decades growing up. I look forward to Anokiwave, the Indian network operators, industry players, and partners working together to democratize mmW 5G technology for 1.4 billion people”
