0.5-1.0 GHz PIN-PIN Diode Limiter Specifications
0.5-1.0 GHz PIN-PIN diode limiter EPL0510A3 from Eclipse MDI is designed for RF receiver protection applications operating across the 500 MHz to 1 GHz frequency range. This passive PIN diode limiter helps reduce excessive RF input signal levels before they reach sensitive receiver components. Published electrical specifications include 0.4 dB typical insertion loss, 1.4:1 typical VSWR, +20 dBm maximum CW leakage power and +23 dBm maximum peak leakage power. The EPL0510A3 features an internal DC return and a published power-handling feature rating of 1 watt CW and 100 watts peak under specified pulse conditions. Engineers evaluating this component should consider limiting threshold, insertion loss, impedance matching, recovery characteristics, output leakage power and applicable input power limits. These parameters influence receiver sensitivity and protection performance. Refer to the approved Eclipse MDI datasheet for complete electrical specifications, pulse conditions, mechanical dimensions and operating temperature limits.
