Description
M/A-COM Tech’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 M/A-COM Tech’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.
