Mimix Broadband, Inc. Introduces 13.5 to 16 GHz GaAs MMIC Power Amplifier
Delivering 10W Output Power

Dual Sided Bias Amplifier Achieves 17 dB Gain and +48 dBm OIP3

March 30, 2009, Houston, Texas - Mimix Broadband, Inc. introduces today a GaAs MMIC high power amplifier (HPA) with +41 dBm pulsed saturated output power and 17 dB small signal gain. This HPA, identified as XP1057-BD, uses a dual sided bias architecture, covers 13.5 to 16 GHz, and achieves +48 dBm OIP3. The device is well suited for millimeter-wave military, radar, satellite and weather applications.

"An excellent addition to our Ku-Band power amplifier product portfolio, the XP1057-BD not only boasts a +39 P1dB compression point, it also achieves outstanding linearity performance at +48 dBm OIP3 across the band, surpassing other offerings at this frequency and power level in the marketplace," stated Jeff Kovitz, Product Manager, Mimix Broadband, Inc.

Mimix performs 100% RF testing on the XP1057-BD. Samples and production quantities are available in eight weeks. Technical support is also available from Mimix's applications engineers at 281.988.4600. The datasheet and additional product information can be obtained from the Mimix Broadband website at www.mimixbroadband.com .
