GaAs Beam Lead Detector Diodes: Zero Bias

The Aeroflex / Metelics MZBD-9161 is a GaAs beam lead detector diode.  This diode is designed for zero bias detecting applications at frequencies through 110 GHz.

  • Low junction capacitance
  • Lower temperature coefficient than silicon
  • Operation to 110 GHz
