Mimix Broadband, Inc. has announced a gallium arsenide (GaAs) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) image reject mixer that covers the 12 to 34 GHz frequency bands. The image reject mixer, identified as 20IRRFM0374, has a conversion loss of 8 dB, a +15 dB image rejection across the band, and an input-referred third-order intercept greater than +24 dBm over that band. It is suited for wireless communications applications such as millimeter-wave point-to-point radio, local multipoint distribution services (LMDS) and satcom.

Mimix performs 100 percent on-wafer RF testing on the 20IRRFM0374, as well as 100 percent 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 six to eight weeks ARO.
