General Description
Mimix Broadband’s 10.0-18.0 GHz GaAs packaged receiver has a
noise figure of 2.7 dB and 20.0 dB image rejection across the
band. This device is a two stage LNA followed by an image reject
mixer which 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 device
uses Mimix Broadband’s GaAs PHEMT device model technology,
and is based upon electron beam lithography to ensure high
repeatability and uniformity. The device comes in a 7x7 mm QFN
Surface Mount Laminate Package offering excellent RF and
thermal properties and is RoHS compliant. This device is well
suited for Millimeter-wave Point-to-Point Radio, LMDS, SATCOM
and VSAT applications.
