Description
Alpha’s single-stage, reactively-matched 36–39 GHz
GaAs MMIC driver amplifier has a typical small signal
gain of 7 dB with a typical P_{1 dB} of 14 dBm at 38 GHz.
The chip uses Alpha’s proven 0.25 mm MESFET
technology, and is based upon MBE layers and electron
beam lithography for the highest uniformity and
repeatability. The FETs employ surface passivation to
ensure a rugged, reliable part with through-substrate via
holes and gold-based backside metallization to facilitate
a conductive epoxy or eutectic die attach process. All
chips are screened for gain, output power and
S-parameters prior to shipment for guaranteed
performance. Designed for 36–39 GHz digital radio band.
