MFC - P09828
55-65GHz Single Side Band Mixer
GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC
Description
The MFC-P09828 is a multifunction chip (MFC)
which integrates a LO buffer amplifier and a sub-
harmonically balanced diode mixer for 2LO
suppression and image rejection. It is usable
both for up-conversion and down-conversion. It
is designed for a wide range of applications,
from military to commercial communication
systems. The backside of the chip is both RF
and DC grounds. This helps simplify the
assembly process.
The circuit is manufactured with a PM-HEMT
process, 0.25µm gate length, via holes through
the substrate, air bridges and electron beam
gate lithography.
It is available in chip form.
