U1000

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

Mimix Broadband's 17.0-27.0 GHz GaAs MMIC transmitter has a small signal conversion gain of 0.0 dB with a third order intercept of +12.0 dBm across the band. The U1000 device is a single fundamental mixer followed by a single stage amplifier. This U1000 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 U1000 device is well suited for Millimeter-wave Point-to- Point Radio, LMDS, SATCOM and VSAT applications.
