AA038P1-00

Alpha's single-stage, reactively-matched 3639 GHz GaAs MMIC driver amplifier AA038P1-00 has a typical small signal gain of 7 dB with a typical P_{1 dB} of 14 dBm at 38 GHz. The chip uses Alpha's proven 0.25 mm MESFET technology, and is based upon MBE layers and electron beam lithography for the highest uniformity and repeatability. The FETs employ surface passivation to ensure a rugged, reliable part with through-substrate via holes and gold-based backside metallization to facilitate a conductive epoxy or eutectic die attach process. All chips are screened for gain, output power and S-parameters prior to shipment for guaranteed performance. Designed for 3639 GHz digital radio band.
