XP1080-QU Power Amplifier
Mimix Broadband, Inc. introduces linear, packaged power amplifier delivering +38 dBm OIP3. Versatile device with on-chip power detector covers 37 to 40 GHz for point-to-point applications.
October 26, 2009, Houston, Texas - Mimix Broadband, Inc. introduces today a linear power amplifier (PA) with an integrated, temperature compensated, on-chip power detector, which is offered in an RoHS compliant 7x7mm QFN-style package, making the device easy to install and handle in volume applications.
This power amplifier, identified as XP1080-QU, covers 37 to 40 GHz and delivers +27 dBm P1dB compression point and +38 dBm OIP3. The XP1080-QU has 25 dB small signal gain and is ideal for wireless communications applications such as point-to-point (PTP) microwave radio.
"The XP1080-QU delivers exceptional OIP3 performance in the 38 GHz PTP radio band," stated David Richardson, Product Line Director, Mimix Broadband, Inc. "It completes the 38 GHz up-converter/driver amplifier/power amplifier Mimix SmartSet solution, all in surface mount technology (SMT) packages. The complete chipset allows radio designers to implement a high performance, low cost 38 GHz transmit stage, which can be fully assembled in standard SMT assembly lines."
Mimix performs 100% RF testing on the XP1080-QU. Production quantities will be available in 8-10 weeks. Technical support is also available from Mimix's applications engineers at 281.988.4600.
