General Description
Mimix Broadband’s 10.0-40.0 GHz GaAs MMIC
distributed amplifier has a small signal gain of 17.0 dB
with a noise figure of 5.0 dB. 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 microwave, millimeter-wave, wideband
military, and fiber optic applications.
