Higher Input Power
• Lead-Free (RoHs Compliant)
Description and Applications
The MA44600 series of Step Recovery diodes is designed
for use in low and moderate power multipliers with output
frequencies of up to 20 GHz. These Step Recovery diodes
generate harmonics by storing a charge as the diode is
driven to forward conductance by the positive voltage of
the input signal. When the signal reverses polarity, this
charge is extracted. The Step Recovery diode will appear
as a low impedance current source until all the charge is
extracted, then it will “snap” to a higher impedance. This
causes a voltage pulse to form in the impulse circuit of the
multiplier. Step Recovery diodes make excellent high or-
der multipliers such as comb generators. They are also
useful as efficient moderate power X2- X4 multipliers.
• High Order Narrow Band Moderate Power Multipliers
(MA44600 series)
• Comb Generators
(MA43592, MA43543)
• High Power Circuit Tested Multiplier
(MA43000 Series)
Environmental Performance
The MA44600 and MA43000 series of diodes in ceramic
packages are capable of meeting the tests dictated by the
methods and procedures of the latest revisions of MIL-S-
9500, MIL-STD-202 and MIL-STD-750 which specify me-
chanical, electrical, thermal and other environmental tests
common to military semiconductor products.
