High power limiter tackles demanding applications

The passive, fully matched limiter operates over the 1-2 GHz bandwidth and integrates the equivalent of 19 discrete diode and passive components into a single packaged solution. The device features 200 CW power handling and up to a 1000 W of peak power handling under 300 us and 10% duty cycle pulse conditions. 

The device boasts 0.35 dB insertion loss and 19 dBm flat leakage power at +55dBm and is offered in a low RGA, fully hermetic package with a compact 10.1mm x 6.2mm x 3.2mm outline.

“The high power limiter is designed to provide a complete solution for the most demanding applications in the smallest possible size,” said Paul Beasly, Product Manager. “The MADL-011014 provides industry leading power and small signal performance in a SMT package which allows our customers to complete designs more rapidly, exceed system requirements, and protect critical systems with superior reliability under the harshest environmental conditions.”
