Description
The MA48700 series of Gallium Arsenide
Abrupt
Junction
Multiplier
Varactors
is
specifically designed to provide single state,
high order multiplication at output frequencies
extending
to
approximately
100
GHz.
All
varactors in this series are available in either
package or chip form. The cathode is the heat
sink end of the package.
Applications
This series of Gallium Arsenide Multiplier
Varactors
is
intended
for
medium
power
harmonic
generation
with
high
conversion
efficiency. These diodes may be used to double
or triple the frequency output of a phase locked
source
for
millimeter
wave
radar
and
communication systems for local oscillators and
transmitters.
