12-16GHz Integrated Down Converter

GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC

Description

The CHR2391 is a multifunction chip which

integrates a LO time two multiplier, a balanced

cold FET mixer, and a RF LNA. It is designed for

a wide range of applications, typically commercial

communication systems. The backside of the

chip is both RF and DC grounds. This helps to

simplify the assembly process.

The circuit is manufactured with a PM-HEMT

process, 0.25µm gate length, via holes through

the substrate and air bridges.

It is available in chip form.
