Silicon Hyperabrupt Tuning Varactors: Low Cost

The Aeroflex / Metelics Low Cost Hyperabrupts offer high Qs. These diodes are excellent for octave tuning up to 800 MHZ and for straight-line frequency tuning between 3 and 8 Volt of bias. They achieve high Q values when tuned between 9 and 20 volts.

  • Low Inductance
  • Wide Capacitance Swing
  • High Q
  • Superior Reproducibility
