General Description
Mimix Broadband’s four stage 34.0-36.0 GHz GaAs
MMIC power amplifier has a small signal gain of 20.0
dB with +33.5 dBm saturated output power.This MMIC
uses Mimix Broadband’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 Military and Space applications.
