GaAs Hyperabrupt Varactor Diodes
MGV Series
Description
The MGV series of hyperabrupt varactor diodes feature
passivated mesa construction for low leakage and excellent post
tuning drift. Available in three constant gamma families of 0.75,
1.0 and 1.25. These diodes will find application in tunable filters
and oscillators up to 40 GHz. Optimum performance is obtained
using die however packaged devices are available as well
diodes screened per MIL-PRF-19500 and MIL-PRF-38534.
