Mimix Broadband’s four stage 37.0-42.0 GHz SMD

GaAs MMIC power amplifier has a small signal gain of

23.0 dB with a +35.0 dBm Output Third Order

Intercept. 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 device comes in a

RoHS compliant 7x7mm QFN Surface Mount Package

offering excellent RF and thermal properties. This

device is well suited for Millimeter-wave

Point-to-Point Radio, LMDS, SATCOM and VSAT

applications.
