General Description
Mimix Broadband’s three stage 17.0-25.0 GHz GaAs
MMIC buffer amplifier has a small signal gain of 20.0
dB with a +28.0 dBm P1dB output compression point
across the band. The device also includes an on-chip
temperature compensated output power detector.
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.
