Silicon Abrupt Tuning Varactor Diodes

The MTV4030 Series tuning varactors are silicon abrupt junction devices. They offer the highest Q and lowest resistance available in 30 volt tuning devices.

A unique silicon passivation process assures greater stability, reliability, and low leakage currents at higher temperatures.

The MTV4030 Series tuning varactors are used for both narrow and wide band tuning through X-band. These devices are used in circuits requiring a high Q voltage variable capacitance such as tunable filters and amplifiers, voltage controlled oscillators, frequency synthesizers, and continuous phase shifters. They are also useful as frequency and phase modulators in communications applications.
