General Description
Mimix Broadband's 18.0-21.0/36.0-42.0 GHz GaAs MMIC
doubler integrates a doubler and 4-stage power amplifier.
The device provides better than +26.0 dBm output power
and has excellent fundamental rejection. 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.
