General Description
Mimix Broadband’s two stage 8.0-12.0/16.0-24.0 GHz
GaAs MMIC doubler has a +16.0 dBm output drive
and is an excellent LO doubler that can be used to
drive fundamental mixer devices. It is also well suited
to drive Mimix's XR1002 receiver device. 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.
