Description
The HMMC-5620 is a wideband
GaAs MMIC Amplifier designed
for medium output power and
high gain over the 6 to 20 GHz
frequency range. Four MESFET
cascade stages provide high gain,
while the single bias supply offers
ease of use. E-Beam lithography
is used to produce gate lengths of
≈ 0.3 µm. The HMMC-5620 incor-
porates advanced MBE technology, Ti-Pt-Au gate metallization,
silicon nitride passivation, and
polyimide for scratch protection.
