Description
The MGA-64135 is a high perfor-
mance gallium arsenide Monolithic
Microwave Integrated Circuit
(MMIC) housed in a cost effective,
microstrip package. This device is
designed for use as a general
purpose 50 ohm gain block in the 2
to 6␣ GHz frequency range. Typical
applications include narrow and
broadband IF and RF amplifiers
for commercial, industrial, and
military requirements.
This MMIC is a cascade of two
stages, each utilizing shunt
feedback to establish a broadband
impedance match. The source of
each stage is AC grounded to
allow biasing from a single
positive power supply. The
interstage blocking capacitor as
well as a resistive “self-bias”
network are included on chip.
The die is fabricated using HP’s
nominal .5 micron recessed
Schottky-barrier-gate, gold
metallization and silicon nitride
passivation to achieve excellent
performance, uniformity, and
reliability.
