Mimix Broadband

’s four stage 35.0-45.0 GHz GaAs

MMIC power amplifier has a small signal gain of 23.0

dB with a +25.0 dBm P1dB output compression point.

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.
