Pre-production
Mimix Broadband's 14.5-17.0/29.0-34.0 GHz GaAs MMIC
doubler integrates a gain stage, passive doubler and driver
amplifier onto a single device. The device provides better
than +21.0 dBm output power and has excellent
fundamental rejection. This device has a self-biased
architecture and requires a single 5V supply. This MMIC
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 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.

recommended to keep channel temperature as low as
possible for maximum life.
