Izixhobo ze-RF zinoluhlu olubanzi lwezicelo kwiisekethe ezidibeneyo ze-microwave (RFICs).Ii-RFICs zibhekisa kwiisekethe ezidityanisiweyo ezidibanisa imisebenzi yeRF, edla ngokusetyenziswa kunxibelelwano olungenazingcingo, iinkqubo zerada, unxibelelwano ngesathelayithi, kunye nezinye iinkqubo zemicrowave.Izixhobo zerediyo zerediyo zidlala indima ebalulekileyo kwii-RFICs.Apha ngezantsi, ndiza kubonelela ngentshayelelo eneenkcukacha zosetyenziso lwezixhobo zamaza kanomathotholo kwiisekethe ezihlanganisiweyo zemicrowave.
Okokuqala, izixhobo zeRF zisetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwiiRFICs ukuphumeza iinkqubo zonxibelelwano ezingenazingcingo.Kwizixhobo zonxibelelwano ezifana neefowuni eziphathwayo, izikhululo ezisisiseko, kunye neerotha zeWiFi, iRFIC idibanisa izixhobo ezifana nokutshintsha kweRF, izihluzi, ii-amplifiers zamandla, kunye neemodyuli zokuhambisa kunye nokufumana imiqondiso engenazingcingo.Izitshixo zeRF zisetyenziselwa ukulawula umzila kunye nokutshintshwa kwemiqondiso, izihluzi zisetyenziselwa ukukhetha rhoqo kunye nokuhluzwa kweempawu, izikhulisi zamandla zisetyenziselwa ukukhulisa amandla emiqondiso, kwaye iimodyuli zisetyenziselwa ukumodareyitha kunye nokunciphisa imiqondiso.Ukudityaniswa kwezi zixhobo zeRF kwenza ukuba ulwakhiwo lwe-hardware yenkqubo yonxibelelwano lube lukhuni kwaye lusebenze, ngelixa luphucula ukusebenza kunye nokuthembeka kwenkqubo.
Okwesibini, kwiinkqubo ze-radar, izixhobo ze-RF zikwasetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwiisekethe ezidibeneyo ze-microwave.Iinkqubo ze-radar kufuneka zisebenze imiqondiso ye-microwave ye-high-frequency kwaye ifuna ukuphunyezwa kwemisebenzi emininzi ye-RF kwindawo encinci, ngoko ke ukuhlanganiswa kwezixhobo ze-RF kuye kwaba yinto engenakuthintelwa.Kwi-RFIC yeenkqubo zeradar, izixhobo ezinje nge-RF mixers, iiamplifiers zeRF, i-phase shifters, kunye ne-frequency synthesizer zidityaniswe kunye ukuze kuxutywe, ukwandiswa, ukutshintshwa kwesigaba, kunye nokwenziwa rhoqo kweempawu zeradar ukuphumeza imisebenzi efana nokubhaqwa okujoliswe kuko, ukulandelela, kunye umfanekiso.Oku kudityaniswa kunciphisa ubungakanani benkqubo ye-radar ngelixa ikwaphucula ukusebenza kwayo kunye nokuguquguquka.
Ukongeza, iisistim zonxibelelwano ngesathelayithi zikwayinxalenye ebalulekileyo yesicelo sezixhobo zamaza kanomathotholo kwiisekethe ezidityanisiweyo zemicrowave.Iinkqubo zonxibelelwano ngesathelayithi zifuna ukusetyenzwa kwemiqondiso ye-microwave ye-high-frequency kunye nokuphunyezwa kwemisebenzi ye-RF entsonkothileyo kwiindawo ezincinci, okwenza ukudityaniswa kwezixhobo zeRF kube yinto engenakuthintelwa.Kwi-RFIC yeenkqubo zonxibelelwano lwesathelayithi, izixhobo ezifana ne-RF mixers, i-RF filters, i-amplifiers yamandla, kunye ne-modulators zidityaniswe kunye ukuze kuqhutywe iimpawu ezivela kwiibhendi ezininzi ze-frequency, ezixhasa ukuhanjiswa kwamajelo amaninzi kunye nemisebenzi yolwamkelo lweenkqubo zonxibelelwano lwesathelayithi.Oku kudityaniswa kuphucula kakhulu ukusebenza kunye nokuthembeka kweenkqubo zonxibelelwano lwesathelayithi, ngelixa kunciphisa iindleko kunye nokusetyenziswa kwamandla kwenkqubo.
Lilonke, ukusetyenziswa kwezixhobo ze-RF kwiisekethe ezihlanganisiweyo ze-microwave kubandakanya imiba emininzi njengokusetyenzwa komqondiso, ukuguqulwa kwamaza, ukukhulisa amandla, kunye nokumodareyitha, okubonelela ngenkxaso ebalulekileyo ekusebenzeni nasekusebenzeni kwee-RFICs.Ngophuhliso oluqhubekayo lonxibelelwano, iradar, kunye nobuchwepheshe besathelayithi, imfuno yezixhobo zeRF kwiiRFICs iya kuqhubeka isanda.Ngoko ke, ukusetyenziswa kwezixhobo ze-RF kwiisekethe ezidibeneyo ze-microwave ziya kuqhubeka zidlala indima ebalulekileyo, ukubonelela ngezisombululo ezihlangeneyo kunye nezisebenzayo kwiimeko ezahlukeneyo zesicelo.
