Aeroflex Metelics Products

GaAs Hyperabrupt Varactor Diodes

The Aeroflex / Metelics 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. Contact your representative for these and other options.
