General Description
Mimix Broadband’s two stage 2.0-18.0 GHz GaAs MMIC
low noise amplifier has a small signal gain of 17.0 dB
with a noise figure of 3.5 dB across the band. This MMIC
uses Mimix Broadband’s GaAs PHEMT device model
technology, and is based upon optical 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 fiber optic,
microwave radio, military, space, telecom infrastructure,
test instrumentation and VSAT applications.
