4.5-10.5 GHz GaAs MMIC Receiver R1011-BD October 2007 - Rev 26-Oct-07 Features Integrated LNA, Mixer and LO Buffer Amp 1.6 dB Noise Figure 14.0 dB Conversion Gain BCB Coated Die 100% RF, DC and NF Testing General Description Mimix Broadband’s 4.5-10.5 GHz receiver has a noise figure of 1.6 dB and 14.0 dB conversion gain across the band. The device integrates an LNA, image reject mixer and LO buffer amplifier within a single, compact MMIC. The image reject mixer eliminates the need for a bandpass filter after the LNA to remove thermal noise at the image frequency. I and Q mixer outputs are provided and an external 90 degree hybrid is required to select the desired sideband. This device 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. This device is well suited for Point-to-Point Radio, LMDS, SATCOM and VSAT applications.
