General Description
Mimix Broadband’s 17.0-27.0 GHz GaAs MMIC
transmitter has a small signal conversion gain of 0.0
dB with a third order intercept of +12.0 dBm across
the band. The device is a single fundamental mixer
followed by a single stage amplifier. 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.
