Description
The SMV1763-079 is a silicon hyperabrupt junction varactor
diode specifically designed for 3 V platforms.The specified
high capacitance ratio and low R
S
of this varactor make it
attractive for low phase noise VCOs in wireless systems up
to and beyond 2.5 GHz. Applications include low noise and
wideband UHF and VHF VCO for GSM, PCS, CDMA and
analog phones.
