22REC0174 18.0-25.0 GHz GaAs MMIC Receiver

Mimix Broadband's 22REC0174 is a gallium arsenide (GaAs) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) sub-harmonically pumped receiver, which integrates a two stage balanced LNA followed by an image reject sub-harmonic anti-parallel diode mixer and includes an integrated LO buffer amplifier. The image reject mixer eliminates the need for a bandpass filter after the LNA to remove thermal noise at the image frequency. Using 0.15 micron gate length GaAs pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) device model technology, this receiver covers the 18 to 25 GHz frequency bands. The MMIC device has noise figure of 2.5 dB, 15.0 dB image rejection across the band, and 2.0 dBm LO drive level.

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

Mimix performs 100% on-wafer RF and DC testing on the 22REC0174, 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 6-10 weeks after order processing.
