2.0-8.0 GHz PIN-PIN Diode Limiter Specifications
2.0-8.0 GHz PIN-PIN diode limiter EPL2080A3 from Eclipse MDI is designed to protect sensitive RF and microwave receiver circuitry against excessive input signal levels. The limiter operates across the 2 GHz to 8 GHz frequency range and uses PIN diode technology for passive RF limiting. This connectorized component is available with SMA male and female connectors and incorporates an internal DC return. Engineers evaluating the EPL2080A3 should consider insertion loss, input and output VSWR, limiting threshold, CW and peak leakage power, input power handling and recovery characteristics. These electrical parameters influence receiver sensitivity, impedance matching and protection performance. System designers should also consider the frequency-dependent limiting response, operating temperature and applicable pulse conditions when integrating the component. Consult the latest approved EPL2080A3 datasheet for detailed electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions and operating requirements.
