General Description
Mimix Broadband’s 11.0-17.0 GHz GaAs MMIC receiver has a noise
figure of 2.2 dB and 20.0 dB image rejection across the band. This
device is a three stage LNA followed by an image reject resistive
pHEMT mixer and includes an integrated LO buffer amplifer. The image
reject mixer eliminates the need for a bandpass filter after the LNA to
remove thermal noise at the image frequency. 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 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.
