Silicon Hyperabrupt Tuning Varactors: VHF

The Aeroflex / Metelics VHF Tuning Varactors are Ion-implanted highly reproducible hyperabrupt diodes which allow octave tuning of LC tanks up to 500 MHZ or, with a reduced 1.5 to 1 frequency ratio, straight-line frequency tuning over a 3 to 8 volt tuning range. These UHF diodes give a full capacitance range of 20 to 200pF at 4 volts bias, ultra high Q and excellent large signal handling capabilities, along with a 2 to 1 capacitance ratio by tuning from 9 to 20 volts of reverse bias. Closely matched sets of all VHF diodes are available along with “A” suffix versions having ± 5% capacitance tolerance at 4 volts of reverse bias.
