7.0-12.0 GHz PIN-PIN Diode Limiter Specifications
7.0-12.0 GHz PIN-PIN diode limiter EPL7012A3 from Eclipse MDI is designed for RF and microwave receiver protection applications across the 7 GHz to 12 GHz frequency range. This passive limiter uses PIN diode technology to help reduce excessive RF input power before it reaches sensitive receiver circuitry. The EPL7012A3 features SMA male and female connector options and an internal DC return. Published product features specify 1 watt CW and 100 watts peak input power handling under defined pulse conditions. Engineers evaluating this microwave limiter should consider insertion loss, input and output VSWR, limiting threshold, CW and peak leakage power, recovery time and input power handling. These electrical parameters affect receiver sensitivity, impedance matching and protection performance. System designers should also review pulse operating conditions, connector configuration, environmental requirements and mechanical dimensions. Consult the latest approved EPL7012A3 datasheet for complete electrical specifications and integration requirements.
