CHR1080a98F
71-86GHz Down-converter
GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC
Description
LO
The CHR1080a98F is a multifunction
monolithic receiver, which integrates a
balanced sub-harmonic cold FET mixer, a LO
buffer, and a RF low noise amplifier.
It
is
designed
for
the
E-band
telecommunication application, particularly
well suited for the new generation of high
capacity backhaul.
The circuit is manufactured with a pHEMT
process, 0.10µm gate length.
It is available in chip form.

These values are representative of on-wafer measurements made without bonding wires at
the RF & LO ports.
A ribbon (75 µm wide) connection at the RF and LO inputs (see chapter recommended chip
assembly) could improve the results.
