General Description
Mimix Broadband’s four stage 35.0-43.0 GHz GaAs
MMIC power amplifier has a small signal gain of 26.0
dB with a +24.0 dBm saturated output power.The
device also includes Lange couplers to achieve good
output return loss.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
