Mimix Broadband’s three stage 18.0-38.0 GHz GaAs MMIC buffer amplifier has a small signal gain of 21.0 dB with a positive gain slope, and a noise figure of 3.2 dB across the band. This MMIC uses Mimix Broadband’s 0.15 µm GaAs PHEMT device model technology, and is based upon electron beam lithography to ensure high repeatability and uniformity.
