General Description
Mimix Broadband’s two stage 11.0-19.0 GHz GaAs
MMIC power amplifier has a small signal gain of
20.0 dB with a +27.0 dBm saturated output power.
This MMIC uses Mimix Broadband’s 0.15
µm
GaAs
PHEMT device model technology, and is based upon
electron beam lithography to ensure high
repeatability and uniformity. The chip has 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. This device is well suited for
Millimeter-wave Point-to-Point Radio, LMDS, SATCOM
and VSAT applications.

(1) Channel temperature affects a device's MTTF. It is
recommended to keep channel temperature as low as
possible for maximum life.
