Tuning Varactors: MBT 6000 Series

Description

The Massachusetts Bay Technologies MBT6000’s series Tuning Varactors are silicon abrupt junction devices. Each device has been designed to obtain the highest Q and lowest resistance possible in 60 volt tuning diodes. Each device in this series has a high density silicon dioxide passivation which results in exceptionally low leakage currents at higher temperatures.

Applications

The MBT6000 series of silicon tuning diodes are used for both narrow and wideband tuning. They are suited for frequency tuning applications through KU band. The MBT6000 series are used in phase shifters, voltage controlled oscillators and frequency synthesizers.

Standard capacitance tolerance is ±10%. Diodes can be optimized for custom electrical or mechanical specification upon request.
