2.0-4.0 GHz PIN-PIN Diode Limiter Specifications — EPL2040A2
2.0-4.0 GHz PIN-PIN diode limiter EPL2040A2 from Eclipse MDI provides passive RF and microwave receiver protection across the 2 GHz to 4 GHz frequency range. Designed to reduce excessive RF signal power before it reaches sensitive receiver circuitry, the EPL2040A2 offers 0.4 dB typical insertion loss and 1.5:1 typical VSWR. The published A2 datasheet specifies +13 dBm typical CW leakage power, +18 dBm maximum CW leakage power and +20 dBm maximum peak leakage power. A typical limiting threshold of +9 dBm makes this model a distinct choice within Eclipse MDI’s 2-4 GHz limiter family. The connectorized assembly has an SMA male input and SMA female output. Engineers evaluating this limiter should consider insertion loss, impedance matching, limiting threshold, leakage power, recovery characteristics and applicable power-handling limits. Review the approved EPL2040A2 datasheet for operating conditions, pulse specifications, mechanical dimensions and integration requirements.
