2.5-5.0 GHz PIN-PIN Diode Limiter Specifications
2.5-5.0 GHz PIN-PIN diode limiter EPL2550A3 from Eclipse MDI is designed for RF and microwave receiver protection applications. Operating across the 2.5 GHz to 5.0 GHz frequency range, the limiter uses PIN diode technology to reduce excessive RF input signal levels before they reach sensitive receiver circuitry. The EPL2550A3 features SMA male and female connections and an internal DC return. Published product features specify 1 watt CW power handling and 100 watts peak power handling under defined pulse conditions. Engineers evaluating this limiter should consider insertion loss, input and output VSWR, limiting threshold, CW and peak leakage power, recovery time and input power ratings. These parameters influence receiver sensitivity, signal matching and protection performance. Consult the latest approved EPL2550A3 datasheet for complete electrical specifications, operating limits, pulse conditions and mechanical dimensions.
