Greensboro-based Qorvo (Nasdaq: QRVO), a leading provider of RF solutions, has introduced a family of compact quadrature IF mixers that address the needs of wideband and high-frequency applications such as phased array radar, satellite communications and electronic warfare.
IF mixers, or IQ mixers, create new frequencies from two input signals by producing new signals at the sum and difference of the original frequencies. They are widely used to shift signals from one frequency range to another, or heterodyning, for convenience in transmission or further signal processing.
Qorvo’s four new IQ mixer products help to extend and strengthen the company’s existing mixer portfolio by delivering industry-leading broadband performance while covering an operating frequency range from 2.5 GHz up to 40 GHz. They are also a much smaller alternative to higher-cost hybrid IQ mixers and single sideband upconverter assemblies.
"By investing in and growing our high-performance GaAs product portfolio, like the QPX series of mixers, we are able to engage earlier in the customer design cycle, making Qorvo a trusted design partner and not just another component supplier,” said Qorvo Director of Defense and Aerospace Dean White.
Located in Deep River Corporate Center, Qorvo combines product and technology leadership, systems-level expertise and global manufacturing scale to solve customers' complex technical challenges. It serves diverse high-growth segments of large global markets including advanced wireless devices, wired and wireless networks and defense radar and communications.
