30 VOLT ABRUPT JUNCTION VARACTOR DIODES

DESCRIPTION

The GC1500 series varactors are silicon abrupt junction

devices. They offer the highest Q and lowest series resis-

tance available in a 30 Volt silicon varactor.

APPLICATIONS

The GC1500 series varactors are used for narrow to

moderate band width tuning. They are available in val-

ues appropriate for VHF through KU band frequencies.

These devices are best used in low phase noise voltage

controlled oscillators, low loss voltage variable filters

and phase shifters.

Standard capacitance tolerance is ±10% Other capaci-

tance values and custom mechanical configurations are

also available. All specifications shown are based on

style 30 package and include .18 pF case capacitance.

Consult package outline section of this catalog for other

case styles available. Complete electrical and mechani-

cal data is also provided.
