General Description
Mimix Broadband’s 20.0-38.0 GHz GaAs MMIC
fundamental balanced mixer has been optimized for use
as an up-converter. The device has a conversion loss of
8.0 dB with a +25.0 dBm input third order intercept point.
IF and IF mixer inputs are provided through an external
180 degree hybrid. 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.
