Mimix Broadband’s three stage balanced 20.0-36.0
GHz GaAs MMIC low noise amplifier has a small signal
gain of 23.0 dB with a noise figure of 2.6 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.
