High Frequency MMIC Technical Overview

To verify complete package performance a GaAs thru is assembled inside the package. Shown below are complete measured and modeled performance of a 2mm GaAs thru epoxy to the package bottom with 2 bond wires each side of 0.016 mm length and 0.025 mm loop height. Correlation is very good, showing we can measure, model, design and customize to 50 GHz for you specific application.

Technica provides 3 standard cavity sizes for a 5x5 mm package. The data sheet not only provides specifications, but we provide single port s-parameters for these standards and your custom design. Referenced to the package edge to a 100x100 micron pad on the MMIC with two 1 mil bond wires of 160u length and 250u loop height this is the most accurate way for you to simulate the package parasitic and the influence on your system.

Using this technique several successful designs have been made including:

20-34 GHz LNA & Mixer

17-33 GHz ¼ W Amplifier
