SAC3301Q6

Overview

The SAC3301Q6 is a Gallium Arsenide Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (GaAs MMIC) digital phase shifter designed for radar applications. It operates within the frequency range of 900 MHz to 1.3 GHz. The component provides 360 degrees of total phase coverage using a 6-bit architecture, with a least significant bit (LSB) resolution of 5.625 degrees. It is housed in a 28-lead Thin Quad Flatpack No-Lead (TQFN) package measuring 6x6 mm with an exposed pad, suitable for surface-mount technology.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes GaAs MMIC technology for high-performance RF signal processing
• Provides full 360-degree phase shift coverage via 6-bit digital control
• Engineered specifically for radar system integration

Applications

• Radar systems
• Phased array antenna beamforming
