Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Aug 16, 2007

Plastic packaged buffer amplifiers are easy to implement and handle in volume wireless communications applications.

Two new buffer amplifiers from Mimix Broadband are offered in standard RoHS compliant 3 x 3mm QFN plastic packages, making them easy to implement and handle in volume applications.

The XB1007-QT and XB1008-QT cover 4-11 and 10-21GHz, respectively.

Both devices deliver +19dBm P1dB compression point and +30dBm OIP3.

The XB1007-QT has 23dB small signal gain, and the XB1008-QT has 18dB small signal gain.

Both are ideal for wireless communications applications such as point-to-point radio, satcom and Vsat applications.

"The XB1007-QT and XB1008-QT are versatile devices that provide a low-cost solution over the entire frequency range of 4-21GHz", says Paul Beasly, Product Manager of Mimix Broadband.

"The devices provide high gain, excellent power handling and good linearity performance in standard 3 x 3mm QFN packages, with the added benefit of gain control".

Mimix performs 100% RF, DC and output power testing on the XB1007-QT and XB1008-QT.

Samples are available now from stock, along with production quantities.
