6.0-18.0 GHz PIN-PIN Diode Limiter Specifications
6.0-18.0 GHz PIN-PIN diode limiter EPL6018A3 from Eclipse MDI is designed for broadband RF and microwave receiver protection applications. Operating across the 6 GHz to 18 GHz frequency range, this passive limiter uses PIN diode technology to help reduce excessive RF signal levels before they reach sensitive receiver circuitry. The EPL6018A3 is intended for evaluation in microwave systems where input power protection, impedance matching and signal-path performance are important design considerations. Engineers selecting this limiter should review insertion loss, input and output VSWR, limiting threshold, CW leakage power, peak leakage power, input power handling and recovery characteristics. These parameters influence receiver sensitivity and the level of protection provided under high-power RF conditions. System designers should also verify connector configuration, pulse operating limits, environmental requirements and mechanical dimensions. Consult the latest approved EPL6018A3 datasheet for complete electrical specifications, measurement conditions and integration requirements.
