General Description
Mimix Broadband's two stage XP1000 GaAs MMIC power
amplifier is supplied in a surface mount leadless chip
carrier compatible with high volume surface mount
components.This power amplifier is optimized for linear
operation with a typical third order intercept point of
+35.0 dBm.The device also achieves excellent input/output
return loss and includes a temperature compensated
output power detector.This packaged 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.This device is
well suited for Millimeter-wave Point-to-Point Radio, LMDS,
SATCOM and VSAT applications.
