General Description
Mimix Broadband’s distributed 30 kHz-20.0 GHz GaAs MMIC
distributed amplifier has a small signal gain of 9.0 dB with a
+23.0 dBm P1dB output 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 Test Instrumentation, Military, Space,
Microwave Point-to-Point Radio, SATCOM and VSAT
applications.

100% on-wafer DC testing and 100% RF wafer qualification. Wafer qualification includes sample testing from each quadrant
with an 80% pass rate required.
(2) Optional high power bias Vd=9.0V will typically yield 2-3 dB increase in P1dB, Psat and OIP3.
(3) Unless otherwise indicated, Min./Max. over 2.0-20.0 GHz and biased at Vd=8.0V.
