Circuit Description
Mimix Broadband’s 2 stage 1.5 to 6.0 GHz driver amplifier is
packaged in an RoHS compliant surface mount 3x3 QFN
package. The device is a self-biased, single supply design
with 13 dB gain and 14 dBm P1dB. This MMIC uses Mimix
Broadband’s MESFET process. The device is fully matched,
and RF choke inductors are integrated on-chip, so there is
no need for external matching components, and it can be
directly cascaded. Care must be taken to isolate the input
and output from external DC voltages.
