		Conventional Limiters PIN diode limiters are built to protect sensitive circuit elements and reduce high power inputs to a low level. The family of conventional limiters typically exhibits leakage levels up to +20dBm with recovery times less than 40nsec, handle up to 100W peak power levels and cover the frequency range from 100MHz to 40GHz. Custom models with higher power handling available. Features: Low Insertion Loss Low Leakage Power Circuit Protection High CW Power Handling Hermetically Sealed Modules Assorted Package Styles Custom Designs Available




		Feedback Limiters Feedback limiters are designed to have lower threshold and leakage levels than those of conventional limiters in order to protect more sensitive components. Most circuits include DC blocks, which are required for proper operation. Features: Low Insertion Loss Low Leakage Power Circuit Protection High CW Power Handling Hermetically Sealed Modules Assorted Package Styles Custom Designs Available




		Coaxial High Power Limiters This series of high power limiters was developed to protect sensitive receiver circuits from close proximity threats (e.g. high power radar or communication transmitters). The standard models handle up to 60W CW while the higher power models can handle up to 100W CW. All models handle 1000W peak and exhibit low insertion loss and leakage levels. The limiters are available in either type N (male-to-male) or SMA connector versions.

		Surface Mount Limiter This series of surface mount limiters was developed to offer higher power handling than our conventional limiters in a small compact design. Covering the band from 20 - 6000MHz these devices can limit input power levels of 10W CW over the operating temperature range of -55C to +85C. Peak power handling is rated to 1kW with a 1us pulse width and a 0.1% duty cycle. Typical leakage levels are less than 12.5dBm (measured at 1W input). These units are available in both drop-in and surface mount packages. Coaxial configurations are available upon request.
