General Description
Mimix Broadband’s 12.0-40.0 GHz GaAs MMIC
fundamental image reject mixer can be used as an up- or
down-converter. The device has a conversion loss of 8.0
dB with a 20.0 dB image rejection across the band. I and
Q mixer outputs are provided and an external 90 degree
hybrid is required to select the desired sideband. 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.
