PCB Design of Multi-Channel Beamformer RF Integrated Circuits

Figure 1 Block diagram of the BFIC chip in BGA package (not to scale). Modern phased array systems utilize beamformer integrated circuits (BFICs), which typically feature multiple parallel paths on the chip, with independent control over gain and phase for each path. A common BFIC configuration connects two or more RF paths to pins located … Read more
