Mimix Broadband, Inc. Introduces 30 kHz to 40 GHz Distributed Amplifier Delivering 15 dB Gain and 22.5 dBm at 22 GHz

Amplifier Provides Broadband Performance for Variety of Applications

October 29, 2008, Houston, Texas - Mimix Broadband, Inc. introduces today a GaAs MMIC distributed amplifier with 15 dB gain, 22.5 dBm P1dB at 22 GHz, and 4.5 dB noise figure at 26 GHz. This distributed amplifier, identified as XD1008-BD, covers 30 kHz to 40 GHz and includes surface passivation to protect and provide a rugged part with backside via holes and gold metallization to allow either a conductive epoxy or eutectic solder die attach process. The XD1008-BD is ideal for microwave, millimeter-wave, military, wideband and instrumentation applications.

"The XD1008-BD offers low noise figure, medium output power, flat gain response, gain control and an integrated power detector; all features which make the device a versatile and attractive solution for wideband frequency applications," stated Paul Beasly, Product Manager, Mimix Broadband, Inc. "Moreover, the device stands apart from the competition
with outstanding stability performance which provides a rock-solid solution over a broad temperature range and matching conditions."

Mimix performs 100% on-wafer RF, DC and output power testing on the XD1008-BD. Samples are available today from stock and production quantities will be available in six 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 .
