DESCRIPTION
KEY FEATURES
The GC6000 series of RF/Microwave noise diodes represent the state
of the art in noise device technology. By carefully controlling junction
doping profiles and mesa geometry, these devices provide the
broadest, most uniform noise response available. Outputs are true
symmetrical Gaussian white noise with predictable thermal
performance. Choose from dozens of case style, including glass,
ceramic as well as EPSM® (enhanced performance surface mount)
for commercial pick and place assembly and die form for hybrid
systems.

APPLICATIONS/BENEFITS
APPLICATIONS
 RF Fuses
The GC6000 Series of devices are designed to generate white noise
for test equipment and specialty ECM applications. These devices
can be used in narrow and broadband noise sources for Noise Figure
testing as well as RF Fuses.
