SPACE-QUALIFIED MIXERS

MITEQ is a leading supplier of RF and microwave

components, equipment, and systems for both com-

mercial and defense applications, including; satellite,

vionics, reconnaissance, surveillance, radar, and

electronic countermeasure systems. Our continued

dvancements in the state-of-the-art and unique

capability have led to wide acceptance of our compa-

ny as a forerunner in the field of mixer technology for

space applications. We are confident that based on

our experience we can offer you the following:

• Mature technology with heritage on space flight

platforms.

• An organization dedicated to developing and man-

ufacturing the very best mixer products for space

use.

• A staff of experts with state-of-the-art ex

perience

in both space and military type mixer products.

• Cost competitive products.

• Low risk (both technical and schedule), through an

extensive inventory of standard designs.

•

Very high reliability.

ITEQ’s Space-Qualified Quality Assurance Plan

establishes the actions and controls necessary to pro-

vide confidence that the end-item will meet the quali-

ty, reliability, and electrical performance required for

space qualified applications. This plan includes the

use of parts, materials, process controls, product

screening, traceability, configuration control, and

destructive physical analysis. Please contact MITEQ

for a copy of our Space-Qualified Quality Assurance

Plan.

CONFORMANCE TO CUSTOMER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS

MITEQ's involvement in various high-reliability space

programs represents a spectrum of programmatic

and quality requirements ranging from MIL-STD-

883 Class B for cost sensitive programs, to require-

ments based on Class S and MIL-PRF-38534

Class H and K.

All open-die, thin-film products are manufactured and

tested within MITEQ's clean rooms (FED-STD-209,

Class 100,000 and Class 10,000) according to pro-

gram requirements.

In addition to compliance to stringent manufacturing

controls, MITEQ possesses the capabilities to sup-

port the program management and extensive

documentation requirements of your space con-

tracts including:

• Configuration Control

• Design Reviews

• Traceability

• Design Analysis

• FMECA

• MTBF

• WCA

All analysis and support provided is based upon indi-

vidual custom requirements as set forth in the cus-

tomer Statement of Work and/or Specifications.

MITEQ has established controls, procedures and a

philosophy with the customer in mind. Conformance

to customer requirements has been paramount

in all the programs we have supported throughout our

history. It is this philosophy that had secured our suc-

cesses in the past, and will guarantee our success in

the future.

Below is a list of previous and existing space programs which MITEQ has supported:

MITEQ has supplied hardware for space-flight mis-

sions for over twenty-three years. Our emphasis is

predominantly in technically challenging require-

ents, particularly in the area of:

• Low-noise amplifiers

• High-performance microwave mixers

• Frequency synthesizers

• Custom designed assemblies

For many years MITEQ's primary space products

have been low-noise amplifiers. However, MITEQ has

been able to provide a wide spectrum of designs and

ustom assemblies by utilizing mature technology

delivered on other high-reliability programs. With our

extensive space experience, we have been able to

use qualification data from our existing designs while

delivering custom-engineered units, thereby offering

reduced cost and shorter delivery times to our cus-

tomers.
