Abstract
According to one embodiment, an RF frontend IC device includes a first array of transceivers to transmit and receive RF signals of a first polarization associated with a first set of RF channels. The device includes a second array of transceivers to transmit and receive RF signals of a second polarization associated with a second set of RF channels. The device includes a first converter coupled to each transceiver of the first array of transceivers and a second converter coupled to each transceiver of the second array of transceivers. The first converter is to up-convert or down-convert a signal of the first polarization based on a LO signal. The second converter is to up-convert or down-convert a signal of the second polarization based on the LO signal. The first and second array of transceivers, and the first and second converters may be implemented within a single IC chip.
