General Description
Mimix Broadband’s four stage 34.0-37.0 GHz GaAs
MMIC power amplifier has a small signal gain of 22.0
dB with nearly a 4W 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 Millimeter-wave Military,
Radar, Satellite and Weather applications.

(1) Channel temperature affects a device's MTTF. It is
recommended to keep channel temperature as low as
possible for maximum life.
(2) Under pulsed bias conditions, under CW Psat conditions
further reduction in max supply voltage (~0.5V) is
recommended.
