General Description
Mimix Broadband's three stage 28.0-31.0 GHz GaAs MMIC
power amplifier has a small signal gain of 27.0 dB with
+30.0 dBm saturated output power. 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.
