NOVA is a highly integrated mmWave antenna module that includes beamformer chips, up-down converter chips, physical circuitry, antenna element array, memory, RF-PLL (LO), an FPGA as the beam controller, etc. It can be integrated with a radio transceiver and baseband platform to design an O-RU, small cell, FWA, or CPE.
The NOVA is designed for 5G NR FR2-1 mmWave product applications. All processors can control this module if they support the SPI interface. Moreover, users can flexibly configure the key parameters to fit the user experience.
