General Description

Mimix Broadband’s 17.0-27.0 GHz GaAs MMIC transmitter has a small signal conversion gain of 0.0 dB with a third order intercept of +12.0 dBm across the band. The device is a single fundamental mixer followed by a single stage amplifier. 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-toPoint Radio, LMDS, SATCOM and VSAT applications.
