Mimix Broadband, Inc. introduces 10 to 16 GHz highly integrated, QFN packaged receiver. XR1015-QH delivers 2.5 dB noise figure and 12 dB conversion gain.

July 25, 2008, Houston, Texas - Mimix Broadband, Inc. introduces today a 10 to 16 GHz GaAs pHEMT SMT packaged receiver that integrates a low noise amplifier (LNA), image reject mixer and LO buffer amplifier within a fully molded 4x4mm QFN package. This RoHS-compliant, packaged receiver has a noise figure of 2.5 dB and conversion gain of 12 dB. The image reject mixer eliminates the need for a bandpass filter after the LNA to remove thermal noise at the image frequency. This device is well suited for point-to-point radio, LMDS, SatCom and VSAT applications.

"The XR1015-QH is a high-performance, fully molded 4x4mm QFN packaged receiver that offers an integrated solution for multiple receive applications and allows a customer to build a complete SMT receiver with just the one component," stated Paul Beasly, Product Manager. "The device is unique due to its small standard package size, inclusion of high levels of on-chip ESD protection structures, and combination of low noise figure, high conversion gain and linearity across the band. "

The device is 100% RF and DC tested. Engineering samples are available today from stock, with a lead time of 14 weeks for production quantities. Technical support is also available from Mimix's applications engineers at 281.988.4600. The XR1015-QH datasheet and additional product information can be obtained from the Mimix Broadband website at www.mimixbroadband.com.
