Mimix Broadband’s two stage 2.0-18.0 GHz GaAs MMIC

low noise amplifier has a small signal gain of 18.0 dB

with a noise figure of 3.5 dB across the band. This MMIC

uses Mimix Broadband’s 0.3 µm 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.
