Description
Microsemi’s GaAs Gunn diodes, epi-down (cathode
heatsink), are fabricated from epitaxial layers grown at
MSC by the Vapor Phase Epitaxy technique. The layers
are processed using proprietary techniques resulting in
low phase and 1/f noise. MDT Gunn diodes are
available in a variety of microwave ceramic packages
are available for operation from 5–110 GHz.

Power is measured using a critically coupled test cavity. For pulsed diodes, pulse width = 1 µS, duty factor = 1% typ.
3
Polarity: anode is the cap and cathode is the heatsink.
