General Description
Mimix Broadband’s 32.0-46.0 GHz GaAs MMIC
fundamental balanced mixer has been optimized for use
as a down-converter. The device has a conversion loss of
7.0 dB with a +24.0 dBm input third order intercept point.
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.
