Mimix Broadband’s three stage output balanced

24.0-40.0 GHz GaAs MMIC low noise amplifier has a

small signal gain of 24.0 dB with a noise figure of 1.7

dB across the band. This MMIC uses Mimix

Broadband’s 0.1 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.
