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 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.
