Mimix Broadband

’s four stage 35.0-43.0 GHz GaAs

MMIC power amplifier has a small signal gain of 26.0

dB with a +24.0 dBm saturated output power. The

device also includes Lange couplers to achieve good

output return loss. 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.
