P1017

(4) Channel temperature affects a device's MTTF. It is recommended to keep channel temperature as low as possible for maximum life.

Mimix Broadband's two stage 30.0-36.0 GHz GaAs MMIC power amplifier is optimized for linear operation with a third order intercept point of +33.0 dBm. The P1017 also includes Lange couplers to achieve good input/output return loss and an on-chip temperature compensated output power detector. This MMIC uses Mimix Broadband's 0.15 m GaAs PHEMT device model technology, and is based upon electron beam lithography to ensure high repeatability and uniformity. The P1017 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. P1017 is well suited for Millimeter-wave Point-to-Point Radio, LMDS,SATCOM and VSAT applications.
