A radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) and method of communication are provided. The RFIC includes phased-locked loop (PLL) and data stream circuitry and a plurality of tiles in communication with the PLL and data stream circuitry. The plurality of tiles includes comprising at least one tile for each frequency band of the RFIC. The plurality of tiles are configured to communicate a data stream signal between tiles in a cascading sequence. Each tile of the plurality of tiles includes a plurality of up/down conversion mixers for converting the data stream signal between an intermediate frequency (IF) and a radio frequency (RF). Each tile also includes a plurality of front end (FE) elements, each in communication with a corresponding antenna and an up/down conversion mixer of the plurality of up/down conversion mixers.
