RFFE 2840

The RFFE is engineered for cutting-edge performance in 5G applications, combining advanced tri-band support and dual transceiver capabilities. Its ultra-compact design delivers high functionality while enabling seamless integration into projects. Each transceiver connects to the Digital Beamforming Accelerator (DBFA) through an analog zero-IF I/Q interface.

Key Features

Tri-Band Support

Supports 24.25–29.5 GHz (5G NR bands n258, n257 and n261) and 37–40 GHz (n260).

Dual Transceiver

Two transceiver chains support dual-polarized antenna configurations.

Compact Design

Ultra-small die size of 1.25 mm x 1.25 mm, ideal for space-constrained applications.

Project Sampling

Available for sampling in development projects, supporting advanced prototyping needs.

DBFA

The Digital Beamforming Accelerator (DBFA) digitizes the analog zero-IF signals from the RFFE transceiver chips and handles the core digital beamforming processing. By processing the antenna signals locally, it substantially reduces both the data rates between the DBFA and the baseband and the processing burden on the baseband, while preserving the performance and flexibility of digital beamforming. Control remains with the baseband.

Key Features

Digital Beamforming Processing

Processes signals from the individual antenna channels, substantially reducing the processing burden on the baseband while preserving digital beamforming performance and flexibility.

Reduced Data Rates

Substantially reduces the data rates between the DBFA and the baseband, simplifying system integration while leaving control with the baseband.

ADP1

ADP1 is a complete over-the-air (OTA) development and evaluation system, including both ends of the wireless link and carrying 5G-coded traffic. It combines BeammWave’s RFFE transceiver chips, antennas, FPGA-based DBFA functionality, and control software, enabling customers to evaluate digital beamforming and develop their systems in parallel with BeammWave.

Key features

Comprehensive Testing

Enables end-to-end OTA testing with 5G-coded traffic, using both ends of the wireless link to assess RF and system-level performance.

Integration Support

Supports joint development and evaluation, including integration with customer baseband solutions. Test scenarios are defined together with BeammWave to match each customer’s technical objectives.

Faster Development

Enables customers to develop and validate their systems in parallel with BeammWave’s chip development, using a shared platform for evaluation and integration.
