Buffer amp runs from 18 to 38GHz
A new gallium arsenide MMIC three stage buffer amplifier features ultrawide bandwidth and high dynamic range.
MMIC mixer is optimised as downconvertor
A new gallium arsenide monolithic microwave integrated circuit fundamental balanced mixer is optimised for use as a downconvertor.
The transmitter has a +17dBm output OIP3 and 5dB conversion gain across the band.
The receiver integrates an image reject mixer, an LO doubler/buffer amplifier, and a low noise amplifier and is offered in a 7 x 7mm SMT high performance package.
The transmitter integrates a balanced, image-reject mixer, an LO doubler/buffer amplifier, and an output RF amplifier.
The RF amplifier is comprised of a series of gain and attenuation stages to achieve linear gain control with a fixed IF input level.
This receiver and transmitter pair, identified as XR1008-QB and XU1006-QB, respectively, is well suited for wireless communications applications such as millimetre-wave point-to-point radio, local multipoint distribution services (LMDS), satcom and VSAT applications.
"The receiver and transmitter pair, along with our XP1031-QK power amplifier, complete the industry's first 38GHz SMT chipset", says Paul Beasly, Product Manager.
"By offering highly integrated devices in surface mount packaging technology, we enable our customers to greatly simplify their designs and improve time to market at a lower cost".
