Sub-harmonic Receiver Integrated LNA, LO Buffer, Image Reject Mixer +2.0 dBm LO Drive Level 2.5 dB Noise Figure 15.0 dB Image Rejection 100% On-Wafer RF, DC and Noise Figure Testing 100% Visual Inspection to MIL-STD-883 Method 2010
Mimix Broadband’s 18.0-25.0 GHz GaAs MMIC receiver has a noise figure of 2.5 dB and 15.0 dB image rejection across the band. This device is a two stage balanced LNA followed by an image reject subharmonic anti-parallel diode mixer and includes an integrated LO buffer amplifer. The image reject mixer eliminates the need for a bandpass filter after the LNA to remove thermal noise at the image frequency.
