General Description
Mimix Broadband’s 32.0-42.0 GHz GaAs MMIC
sub-harmonic image reject mixer can be used as an up-
or down-converter. The device has a conversion loss of
9.0 dB with 18.0 dB image rejection across the band. I and
Q mixer outputs are provided and an external 90 degree
hybrid is required to select the desired sideband. This
MMIC uses Mimix Broadband’s 2 µm GaAs HBT 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.
