Houston -- Mimix Broadband, Inc. today introduced a GaAs MMIC fundamental balanced mixer, which has been optimized for use as a down-converter. Using 0.15-micron-gate-length GaAs pHEMT device model technology, this mixer covers the 32-42 GHz frequency bands. The device has conversion loss of 8 dB with 22 dBm input third order intercept point.

This mixer, identified as 40BRFM0058, is well suited for wireless communications applications such as millimeter-wave point-to-point radio, LMDS, and SATCOM.

"The combination of broad frequency coverage and high linearity is achieved through the use of 'cold FET' mode mixers in a balanced configuration," stated Dr. Jim Harvey, CTO of Mimix Broadband. "This makes the device useful in a wide variety of radio and instrumentation applications."

Mimix performs 100% on-wafer RF testing on the 40BRFM0058, 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.
