Mimix Broadband’s two stage balanced 17.0-35.0 GHz

GaAs MMIC low noise amplifier has a small signal gain

of 14.0 dB with a noise figure of 2.5 dB across the

band. 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.
