General Description

Mimix Broadband

’s 12.0-40.0 GHz GaAs MMIC

fundamental image reject mixer can be used as an up- or

down-converter. The device has a conversion loss of 8.0

dB with a 20.0 dB image rejection across the band. I and

Q mixer outputs are provided and an external 90 degree

hybrid is required to select the desired sideband. 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.
