4.0-8.0 GHz PIN-PIN Diode Limiter Specifications
4.0-8.0 GHz PIN-PIN diode limiter EPL4080A3 from Eclipse MDI is designed for RF and microwave receiver protection applications across the 4 GHz to 8 GHz frequency band. This passive limiter uses PIN diode technology to reduce excessive RF signal power before it reaches sensitive receiver circuitry. Published electrical specifications identify 1.2 dB typical insertion loss, 1.5:1 typical VSWR, +18 dBm maximum CW leakage power and +20 dBm maximum peak leakage power. The device includes an internal DC return and is shown with SMA male input and SMA female output connections in the published mechanical drawing. Engineers evaluating EPL4080A3 should consider insertion loss, impedance matching, limiting threshold, leakage power, recovery performance, input power handling and applicable pulse conditions. These characteristics affect receiver sensitivity and protection under high-power signal conditions. Consult the latest approved Eclipse MDI datasheet for complete electrical specifications, measurement conditions, mechanical dimensions and operating limits.
