General Description
Mimix Broadband’s four stage 26.0-31.0 GHz GaAs
MMIC power amplifier is optimized for linear operation
with a third order intercept point of +36.0 dBm.The
device also includes Lange couplers to achieve good
output return loss and an on-chip temperature
compensated output power detector.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 Millimeter-wave Point-to-Point Radio, LMDS,
SATCOM and VSAT applications.
