General Description
Mimix Broadband’s three stage 18.0-38.0 GHz GaAs
MMIC buffer amplifier has a small signal gain of 21.0 dB
with a positive gain slope, and a noise figure of 3.2 dB
across the band. 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.

recommended to keep channel temperature as low as
possible for maximum life.
