RFFE2840

RFFE2840 handles the radio signals between the antennas and the Digital BeamForming Accelerator (DBFA). Its compact design enables distributed antenna placement, with each transceiver connected to the DBFA through a 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 antennas. Adding RFFE2840 chips and antenna elements increases total transmit power, allowing the same RF chip to serve different application power requirements.

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) connects the RF transceivers to the customer’s baseband, digitizing zero-IF signals and handling digital beamforming processing. Each DBFA supports up to eight RFFE2840 chips, providing 16 antenna channels. Control remains with the baseband.

Key Features

Scalable Antenna Systems

Multiple DBFAs can be connected in a cascade to support larger antenna systems for CPEs and base stations. Beamforming spans the full antenna array, and the system can connect to the baseband through a single DBFA.

Simplified Baseband Integration

Local processing reduces the baseband workload. Adding antenna channels does not require a higher I/Q data rate at the baseband interface when bandwidth and the number of virtual antenna streams remain unchanged.

ADP1

ADP1 is a complete over-the-air (OTA) development and evaluation system, including both ends of the wireless link and using 5G waveforms. 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 waveforms, 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.
