Mixers and up/downconverters are critical components in any transceiver system. One of the more exciting prospects in RF/microwaves is developing mixers and frequency converters using GaN technology. GaN has the ability to provide high lineary and high dynamic range with OIP3 >40dBm. High integration using GaN MMICs will allow smaller and more efficient devices for compact receivers.
In this K-band GaN MMIC, Echoic Engineering performed all of the circuit simulation, layout and EM verification. We can provide the design assistance modeling Mixers and up/downconverters are one of the exciting areas of primed for evolution in the world of GaN.
