Skyworks' two-stage balanced K band GaAs MMIC power amplifier has a typical of 24.5 dBm with 13 dB associated gain and 11% power added efficiency at 23 GHz. The chip uses Skyworks' proven 0.25 µm MESFET technology, and is based upon MBE layers and electron beam lithography for the highest uniformity and repeatability. The FETs employ surface passivation to ensure a rugged reliable part with through-substrate via holes and gold-based backside metallization to facilitate a conductive epoxy die attach process. All chips are screened for small signal S-parameters and power characteristics prior to shipment for guaranteed performance. A broad range of applications exist in both the high reliability and commercial areas where high power and gain are required.
