35.0-45.0 GHz GaAs Receiver QFN, 7x7 mm 40REC0770-QB October 2006 - Rev 05-Oct-06 Features Sub-harmonic Receiver Integrated LNA, Image Reject Mixer, LO Doubler/Buffer +2.0 dBm LO Drive Level 8.0 dB Conversion Gain 4.0 dB NF +5.0 dBm Input Third Order Intercept (IP3) 7x7mm QFN package General Description Mimix Broadband’s 35.0-45.0 GHz packaged receiver has a noise figure of 4.0 dB and 5.0 dBm Input Third Order Intercept across the band. This device integrates a three stage LNA followed by an image reject resistive pHEMT mixer and includes an integrated LO doubler and buffer amplifier. The use of integrated LO doubler and LO buffer amplifier makes the provision of the LO easier than for fundamental mixers at these frequencies. I and Q mixer outputs are provided and an external 90 degree hybrid is required to select the desired sideband. The device comes in a 7x7mm QFN package that is RoHS compliant. This device is well suited for Millimeter-wave Point-to-Point Radio, LMDS, SATCOM and VSAT applications.

Additionally, a mixer and doubler bias are also required with VG2=-0.5V. Adjusting Vg2 above or below this value can adversely affect conversion gain, image rejection and intercept point performance. It is recommended to use active biasing to keep the currents constant as the RF power and temperature vary; this gives the most reproducible results. Depending on the supply voltage available and the power dissipation constraints, the bias circuit may be a single transistor or a low power operational amplifier, with a low value resistor in series with the drain supply used to sense the current. The gate of the pHEMT is controlled to maintain correct drain current and thus drain voltage. The typical gate voltage needed to do this is -0.3V. Typically the gate is protected with Silicon diodes to limit the applied voltage. Also, make sure to sequence the applied voltage to ensure negative gate bias is available before applying the positive drain supply. MTTF MTTF is calculated from accelerated life-time data of single devices and assumes an isothermal back-plate. 40REC0770-QB, MTTF (yrs) vs. Backplate Temperature (°C) 1.E+05 MTTF (Years) 1.E+04 1.E+03 1.E+02 1.E+01 1.E+00 55 65 75 85 95 Temperature (°C) Bias Conditions: Vd=4.0V, Id=180 mA Typical Application BPF 40REC0770-QB IF Out 2 GHz Coupler RF IN 37.0-39.5 GHz LNA IR Mixer Buffer AGC Control X2 LO(+2.0dBm) 17.5-18.75 GHz (USB Operation) 19.5-20.75 GHz (LSB Operation) Mimix Broadband MMIC-based 35.0-45.0 GHz Receiver Block Diagram (Changing LO and IF frequencies as required allows design to operate as high as 46 GHz) Mimix Broadband's 30.0-46.0 GHz 40REC0770-QB GaAs MMIC Receiver can be used in saturated radio applications and linear modulation schemes up to 128 QAM.
