Dual Pol 32-Element mmW to IF Active Antenna Innovator's Kit

The AWA-0213-PAK is a complete mmW to IF dual pol antenna design for mmW 5G radios. This kit is intended to help 5G equipment manufacturers evaluate the array level performance of Anokiwave ICs, develop new mmW 5G NR radio front ends, and introduce their arrays into the market quickly.

The kit is designed using Anokiwave’s Generation 3 Beamformer and IF Up/downconverter ICs that provide industry leading array level performance. As a baseline, the kit is designed to offer high linear EIRP at wide 3GPP bandwidths. The design can be easily customized to meet equipment manufacturer’s specific 5G radio requirements.
