0.5-2.0 GHz PIN-Schottky Diode Limiter Specifications — ESL0520A2
0.5-2.0 GHz PIN-Schottky diode limiter ESL0520A2 from Eclipse MDI is designed for broadband RF receiver protection across the 500 MHz to 2 GHz frequency range. This connectorized microwave limiter uses PIN-Schottky diode technology to help protect sensitive receiver components against excessive RF input power. Published electrical specifications include 0.6 dB typical insertion loss, 1.5:1 typical VSWR, +18 dBm maximum CW leakage power and +20 dBm maximum peak leakage power. The ESL0520A2 includes an internal DC block and offers SMA male and female connector configurations. Its published product features specify 1 watt CW input power and 100 watts peak power under defined pulse conditions of 1 microsecond pulse width and 0.1% duty cycle. The datasheet identifies 200 microseconds typical recovery time. Engineers evaluating this limiter should review insertion loss, impedance matching, limiting threshold, output leakage, recovery characteristics and power-handling requirements. Refer to the latest approved ESL0520A2 datasheet for complete specifications, mechanical dimensions and operating conditions.
