General Description
Mimix Broadband’s three stage 13.5-16.0 GHz GaAs
MMIC power amplifier has a small signal gain of 17.0
dB with +48.0 dBm output third order intercept.This
MMIC uses Mimix Broadband’s GaAs PHEMT device
model technology, and is based upon optical
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, Space, Microwave Point-to-Point
Radio, SATCOM and VSAT applications.
