The MA46600 series of microwave tuning varactors is afamily of abrupt junction gallium arsenide devices featuring Q factors in excess of 8000. This series is specifically designed for broadband high Q tuning performance (up to 8000 at -4 volts and 50 MHz) from L through Ka band. Characteristics such as high reliability, low leakage and close capacitance tracking between diodes are typical of these devices. Standard capacitance matching is 10%,but closer matching is available upon request. All diode types are available in a wide selection of ceramic packages as well as in chip form.
