General Description
Mimix Broadband’s 0.05-50.0 GHz GaAs MMIC
distributed amplifier has a small signal gain of 9.0 dB
with a noise figure of 5.0 dB across the band.The
device also includes 15.0 dB gain control and a +9.0
dBm P1dB compression point.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.This device is well
suited for microwave, millimeter-wave, wideband
military, and fiber optic applications.
