VARACTOR DIODES

Microwave Hyperabrupt Junction

TM

DESCRIPTION

The KV2100 series of microwave hyperabrupt varactor diodes offers octave

tuning through 8 GHz. High reliability passivated construction, insures

excellent VCO settling time and post tuning drift characteristics. As with

their UHF counterparts, straight-line tuning can be achieved over a mid

voltage bias range. They are available in a wide range of package styles

and configurations including matched sets with tighter tolerances. As is the

case with all microwave applications, chip devices (style 00) are

recommended

for

best

wide

bandwidth

and

highest

frequency

performance. When ordering specify the desired case style by adding its

number as a suffix to the basic model number. Some limitations apply.

Consult factory for details.

APPLICATIONS/BENEFITS

 HV-VHF VCXO & TCXO

Applications

 Frequency Modulators

APPLICATIONS

Ultrahigh Q and excellent large signal handling capabilities, along with a

greater than 4 to 1 capacitance ratio, is obtained by tuning from 4 to 20

volts of reverse bias.

These products are ideal for linear, wide deviation tuning of VCXO/TCXO’S

and frequency modulators results when these diodes are tuned over a 3 to

8 volt bias range.
