WJ Communications Introduces High Linearity Mixers for 3G Wireless Markets; Expands Product and Technology Offering for CDMA 2000/WCDMA/UMTS Cellular Applications.SAN JOSE, Calif. -- WJ Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq:WJCI WJCI WJ Communications, Inc ), a leading supplier of RF solutions for the wireless infrastructure and RFID reader markets, today introduced two new highly linear mixers, the MH103A and MH203A. Both mixers offer improved third-order intercept (IP3) and lower conversion loss and are ideal for WCDMA (Wideband CDMA) A 3G high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers that use the TDMA or GSM technology worldwide, including AT&T (formerly Cingular) and T-Mobile in the U.S. , CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. 2000, and multi-carrier applications. "The MH103A and MH203A are the first monolithic integrated circuits in the marketplace with very high IP3s and low conversion loss comparable to the best discrete mixers on the market," said Ron Buswell, senior vice president of marketing and product line management for WJ Communications. "Current and next generation infrastructure systems require mixer solutions that deliver higher IP3 performance at a lower cost. We are providing our customers with these products. These mixers also offer lower conversion loss, improved dynamic range and are ideal for 3G applications. These products add to the broad range of RF components already offered by WJ, specifically for 3G wireless systems." Product Overview Among the key benefits of the MH103A and MH203A are high IP3, up to +34 dBm and a low conversion loss. The MH103A and MH203A are passive GaAs MESFET See FET. mixers that provide high dynamic range performance in a low cost SOIC-8 package. These devices use patented techniques to realize +34 dBm Input IP3 at an LO drive level of +17 dBm when used in transceiver applications as an up-converter or a down-converter. This single monolithic integrated circuit does not require any external baluns or bias elements. Typical applications include frequency up/down conversion, modulation and demodulation demodulation: see modulation. See demodulate. (communications) demodulation - To recover the signal from the carrier. For example, in a radio broadcast using amplitude modulation the audio signal is transmitted as the mean amplitude of a for receivers and transmitters used in 3G UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) The GSM implementation of the 3G wireless phone system. Part of IMT-2000, UMTS provides service in the 2 GHz band and offers global roaming and personalized features. systems. Price and Availability Fully assembled evaluation boards and loose samples are available now and can be requested directly from the WJ website (www.wj.com). The MH103A and MH203A are attractively priced at $2.25 @ 10k.
