➀ Qorvo launched a Ku-band beamformer IC for SATCOM terminals, enabling TDD architecture to reduce system complexity and size through a single antenna array for transmission and reception;
➁ The IC complements Qorvo's existing FDD beamformer portfolio, providing scalable solutions for both TDD and FDD satellite communication systems;
➂ It operates in 13.75-14.5 GHz (transmit) and 10.7-12.75 GHz (receive) ranges, integrates Tx/Rx functions, reduces receive power by 40%, improves signal clarity by 20%, and offers 5x higher transmit efficiency than competitors.
