General Description
Mimix Broadband’s three stage 20.0-38.0 GHz GaAs
MMIC low noise amplifier has a small signal gain of
17.0 dB with a noise figure of 3.0 dB. The device uses
Mimix Broadband’s 0.15 µm GaAs PHEMT device
model technology, and is based upon electron beam
lithography to ensure high repeatability and
uniformity. The device is well suited to multiple
receiver applications which require broadband
performance with simple bias requirements.
