First Commercially Available 256-Element Phased Array Antenna Hits The Market

By dmiyares | December 11, 2017

Anokiwave is adding to its family of Active Antenna Innovator Kits with the 256-element, reconfigurable 28GHz array, further enabling the roll-out of mmW 5G systems. Anokiwave has announced the next product in its family of mmW Phased Array Antenna Innovator’s Kits, the AWA-0134, driven by the Anokiwave AWMF-0108 28GHz 5G Quad Core IC with embedded functions for remote telemetry and low-latency steeringTM.

The AWA-0134 is a 28 GHz, 256-element, reconfigurable active electronically scanned antenna for 5G mm-wave communication applications. The AWA-0134 represents the first commercially available 256-element phased-array at 28 GHz to enable the development and measurement of radio links and channel models, as well as for rapid prototyping and testing of electronically beam-steered radio links through low-latency beam update rates.

Developed with Ball Aerospace for mmW 5G wireless markets, The AWA-0134 includes an integrated controller that can steer the beams to predetermined positions within a wide scan volume with minimal latency and system sensitivity.

Availability
The AWA-0134 Innovator’s kits are available now. Customers may also license the technology for their own array development activities.
