M/A-COM Technology Solutions Announces New GaAs MMIC Doubler with Integrated Gain, Self-Biased Doubler and Driver Stages



Doubler Delivers +20 dBm Pout and 35 dBc Fundamental Suppression

Lowell, MA, - M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. (M/A-COM Tech), a leading supplier of high performance analog semiconductor solutions, introduced today a GaAs MMIC Doubler for VSAT applications.

The XX1010-QT is an active doubler in a RoHS compliant 3X3mm 16-Lead plastic QFN package that delivers +20 dBm output saturated power (Pout) and 35 dBc fundamental suppression. Using a GaAs pHEMT process, the XX1010-QT covers the 14.625-15.0 / 29.25-30.0 GHz frequency bands and integrates a gain stage, doubler, and driver amplifier into a single device.

The doubler is well suited for SATCOM and millimeter-wave Point-to-Point Radio applications. The XX1010-QT integrates DC blocking and bypassing capacitors, eliminating the need for any external components. The device has a self-bias configuration, requiring only a positive 5V supply.

"The high level of integration coupled with a standard 3X3mm plastic QFN package offers our customers an optimal cost effective solution by saving precious board area and reducing component count," stated Amer Droubi, Product Manager, "The XX1010-QT is an ideal driver stage to the final output power amplifier in Ka band VSAT terminals."

The table below outlines typical performance:
Parameters              Units      XX1010-QT 
Frequency GHz 14.625-15.0 / 29.25-30.0
Input Return Loss dB 12
Output Return Loss dB 14
Fundamental Suppression dBc 35
Supply Currency mA 200


Production quantities and samples of XX1010-QT are available from stock. Final datasheets and additional product information can be obtained from the M/A-COM Tech website at: www.macomtech.com
