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. The device comes in a 7x7mm SMT
package that is RoHS compliant.This device is well suited for
Millimeter-wave Point-to-Point Radio, LMDS, SATCOM and VSAT
applications.
