Description
Microsemi’s ISIS frequency multiplier varactors are
fabricated by epitaxially stacking the P-N junctions in
GaAs to obtain high power at millimeter wave
frequencies. The MIV series of ISIS multiplier diodes
has been designed to have the high cut-off frequency to
produce very low conversion loss when used in
appropriately designed circuits. MSC offers 2 and 3
stacked devices to produce high CW power from 40–
110 GHz. CW power up to 3 W at 44 GHz
(conversion loss <3 dB) and 1 W in W band
(conversion loss <9 dB) are realizable with single
devices. ISIS diodes are offered in the low parasitic
(<10 fF), low thermal resistance M29 package and in
other packages.
