Mimix Broadband’s four stage 37.0-40.0 GHz SMD
GaAs MMIC power amplifier has a small signal
gain of 25.0 dB with a +35.5 dBm Output Third
Order Intercept.This MMIC uses Mimix
Broadband’s GaAs PHEMT device model
Max. Operating Junction/Channel Temp 175 ºC
Continuous Power Dissipation (Pdiss) at 85 ºC 2.80 W
Thermal Resistance (Tchannel=150 ºC) 23 ºC/W
technology, and is based upon electron beam
lithography to ensure high repeatability and
uniformity.The device comes in a RoHS compliant
7x7mm QFN Surface Mount Package offering
excellent RF and thermal properties.This device is
well suited for Millimeter-wave Point-to-Point
Radio, LMDS, SATCOM and VSAT applications.

(1) Channel temperature directly affects a device's MTTF. Channel temperature should
be kept as low as possible to maximize lifetime.
(2) For saturated performance it recommended that the sum of (2*Vdd + abs(Vgg)) <9V
