Mimix Broadband, Inc. Introduces 26 to 31 GHz GaAs MMIC Power Amplifier Optimized for Linear Operation

Amplifier Includes On-Chip Temperature Compensated Output Power Detector with +36 dBm OIP3 ut third order intercept point.

This amplifier, identified as 29MPA0373, is well suited for wireless communications applications such as millimeter-wave point-to-point radio, local multipoint distribution services (LMDS) and SATCOM.

"The high value of gain and linearity provided in this device makes it suitable for point-to-point microwave and Ka band satellite up-link applications," stated Dr. Jim Harvey, CTO of Mimix Broadband, Inc."Users can employ the on-chip temperature compensated power detector to facilitate power level control in transmitters."

Mimix performs 100% on-wafer RF, DC and output power testing on the 29MPA0373, as well as 100% visual inspection to MIL-STD-883 method 2010. The chip also 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.

Engineering samples are available today from stock, and production quantities are available 6-8 weeks ARO. Technical support is also available from Mimix's applications engineers at 281.988.4600. The 29MPA0373 datasheet and additional product information can be obtained from the Mimix Broadband website at www.mimixbroadband.com.
