General Description
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.
