2.0-4.0 GHz PIN-PIN Diode Limiter Specifications
2.0-4.0 GHz PIN-PIN diode limiter EPL2040A3 from Eclipse MDI provides RF and microwave receiver protection over the 2 GHz to 4 GHz frequency range. This passive limiter uses PIN diode technology to reduce excessive RF signal levels before they reach sensitive receiver circuitry. Published specifications include 0.8 dB typical insertion loss, 1.5:1 typical VSWR, +20 dBm maximum CW leakage power, and +23 dBm maximum peak leakage power. The device features an internal DC return and a +13 dBm typical limiting threshold. Engineers evaluating EPL2040A3 should consider signal-path loss, impedance matching, output leakage power, input power limits, recovery characteristics, and applicable pulse operating conditions. Refer to the current Eclipse MDI datasheet for complete electrical specifications, test conditions, mechanical dimensions, and installation requirements.
