B1002

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

Mimix Broadband's four stage 36.0-43.0 GHz GaAs MMIC buffer amplifier B1002 has a small signal gain of 24.0 dB with a noise figure of 4.0 dB across the band. Gain increases with frequency to compensate for other component roll-off factors common in 38.0-40.0 GHz systems. 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 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 B1002 is well suited for Millimeter-wave Point-to-Point Radio, LMDS, SATCOM and VSAT applications.
