Mimix Broadband’s three stage 16.0-30.0 GHz GaAs
MMIC buffer amplifier has a small signal gain of 21.0 dB
with a noise figure of 2.2 dB across the band. This MMIC
uses Mimix Broadband’s 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.
