Single Bias Supply Operation 13 dB Typical Small Signal Gain 14 dBm Typical P1 dB Output Power at 38 GHz 0.25 µm Ti/Pd/Au Gates 100% On-Wafer RF and DC Testing

Skyworks' two-stage reactively-matched 37­40 GHz GaAs MMIC driver amplifier has typical small signal gain 13 dB with a typical of 14 dBm at 38 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 gain, output power and S-parameters prior to shipment for guaranteed performance.
