| Mimix Broadband, Inc. Introduces 4.5 to 10.5 GHz QFN Packaged, GaAs MMIC Receiver
Receiver Delivers 1.8 dB Noise Figure and 13 dB Conversion Gain
 November 9, 2007, Houston, Texas - Mimix Broadband, Inc. introduced today a fully molded QFN packaged, gallium arsenide (GaAs) monolithic
microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) receiver that covers the 4.5 to 10.5
GHz frequency bands. The highly integrated receiver has a noise figure
of 1.8 dB and 13 dB conversion gain across the band.
The receiver, identified as XR1011-QH, integrates an image reject mixer,
an LO buffer amplifier, and a low noise amplifier within a fully molded
4x4mm QFN package that is RoHS compliant. The image reject mixer
eliminates the need for an image bandpass filter after the amplifier to
remove thermal noise at the image frequency. The XR1011-QH is well
suited for wireless communications applications such as millimeter-wave
point-to-point radio, local multipoint distribution services (LMDS),
SATCOM and VSAT.
"The XR1011-QH is the industry's first fully molded 4x4mm QFN packaged
receiver covering the frequency range of 4.5 to 10.5 GHz," stated Paul
Beasly, Product Manager. "This part is also distinguished by its
impressive performance, combining low noise figure, high conversion gain
and excellent linearity across the band, thus making it an essential
part of a designer's toolkit."
Mimix performs 100% RF, DC and noise figure testing on this product.
Engineering samples are available today from stock and production
quantities will be available in 12 to 14 weeks. Technical support is
also available from Mimix's applications engineers at 281.988.4600. The
datasheet and additional product information can be obtained from the
Mimix Broadband website at www.mimixbroadband.com .
