Circuit Description
Mimix Broadband’s 2 stage feedback 1.5 to 6.0 GHz
driver amplifier is packaged in an RoHS compliant
surface mount 3x3 QFN package. The device is a
self-biased, single supply design with 15 dB gain and 15
dBm P1dB between 1 and 6 GHz. This MMIC uses Mimix
Broadband’s MESFET process. The device is fully
matched, so there is no need for external matching
components. Output DC blocking capacitor and RF
choke inductors are integrated on-chip. Care must be
taken to isolate the input from external DC voltages.
