XR1008-QB: 35.0-45.0 GHz GaAs Receiver QFN, 7x7mm

January 17, 2011
- Sub-harmonic Receiver - Integrated LNA, Image Reject Mixer, LO Doubler/Buffer - +2.0 dBm LO Drive Level - 8.0 dB Conversion Gain - 3.5 dB NF - +5.0 dBm Input Third Order Intercept (IP3) - 7x7mm QFN Package

Mimix Broadband’s 35.0-45.0 GHz packaged receiver has a noise figure of 3.5 dB and 5.0 dBm Input Third Order Intercept across the band. This device integrates a three stage LNA followed by an image reject resistive pHEMT mixer and includes an integrated LO doubler and buffer amplifier. The use of integrated LO doubler and LO buffer amplifier makes the provision of the LO easier than for fundamental mixers at these frequencies. I and Q mixer outputs are provided and an external 90 degree hybrid is required to select the desired sideband. The device comes in a 7x7mm QFN package that is RoHS compliant. This device is well suited for Millimeter-wave Point-to-Point Radio, LMDS, SATCOM and VSAT applications.
