Description
The MS8251-P2920 is a GaAs flip chip anti-parallel
pair Schottky device designed for use as harmonic
mixer elements at microwave and millimeter wave
frequencies. Their high cut-off frequency insures
good performance at frequencies to 100 GHz.
Applications include, transceivers, digital radios
and automotive radar detectors.
