General Description
Mimix Broadband’s 17.0-27.0 GHz GaAs MMIC receiver has a small signal
conversion gain of 10.0 dB with a noise figure of 3.5 dB and 15.0 dB
image rejection across the band.The device is a three stage LNA
followed by an image reject fundamental mixer using Lange couplers to
improve bandwidth.The image reject mixer eliminates the need for a
bandpass filter after the LNA to remove thermal noise at the image
frequency. I and Q mixer outputs are provided and an external 90
degree hybrid is required to select the desired sideband.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.
