30 31 APPLICATIONS
The MA4ST550 series is appropriate for use in VCOs with frequencies within the range of approximately 1-14 GHz where a large capacitance change is required. These diodes are suited for VCOs in missile seekers, telecommunication systems and electronic warfare systems with critical post tuning drift specifications. 134 Environmental Performance All tuning varactors in ceramic packages are capable of meeting the performance tests dictated by the methods and procedures of the latest revisions of MIL-S-19500, MILSTD-202 and MIL-STD-750 which specify mechanical, electrical, thermal and other environmental tests common to semiconductor products.
