General Description
Mimix Broadband’s 36.0-42.0 GHz GaAs transmitter has a +17.0 dBm
output third order intercept across the band. This device is a balanced,
resistive pHEMT mixer followed by a distributed output amplifier and
includes an integrated LO doubler and LO 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 inputs 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 Millimeter-wave Point-to-Point Radio,
LMDS, SATCOM and VSAT applications.

App Note [1] Biasing - App Note [1] Biasing - The device is operated by biasing VD=4.0V with ID=240mA. 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. The VC bias pin controls an integrated attenuator where VC=-1.3 V provides the minimum attenuation and
VC = 0.0 V provides the maximum attenuation (approximately 25 dB).
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 VG1= -0.4V.
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.
