The high Q values and the elimination of package parasitics make these varactors very attractive for voltage controlled oscillators that require linear tuning. These tuning diodes are useful at frequencies as high as 40 Ghz. The beam lead design eliminates almost all of the package parasitics resulting in improved linearity of the junction capacitance change with applied reverse bias voltage. This improves tracking between diodes and can improve VCO linearity. Beam Strength 1. Operation of this device above any one of these parameters may cause permanent damage. Applications These beam lead constant gamma tuning varactors are particularly useful in broadband VCO’s, where linear ...
