RF Limiters Handle Up To 200W Peak

The company’s latest family of broadband, high power limiters protect sensitive RF receivers and components such as LNAs that are in close proximity to high power signals.

They operate over frequencies ranging from 0.5 GHz to 40 GHz, depending on the model, and exhibit CW power handling up to 200W peak. Recovery times range from 10 ns to 100 ns. Consisting of seven limiter designs, the offering features limiting thresholds between 3 to 10 dBm, a leakage power of 10 to 15 dBm, and an operating temperature range from -54°C to +85°C. The 50Ω hybrid designs employ limiting diode circuitry and do not require any external matching components.
