Mimix Broadband’s 0.05-50.0 GHz GaAs MMIC

distributed amplifier has a small signal gain of 9.0 dB

with a noise figure of 5.0 dB across the band.The

device also includes 15.0 dB gain control and a +9.0

dBm P1dB compression point.This MMIC uses Mimix

Broadband’s 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 microwave,

millimeter-wave and wideband military applications.
