L1_SML1 Datasheet, PDF (1/3 Pages) M/A-COM Technology Solutions, Inc. – Thin Film Limiter Module

L1 / SML1
Thin Film Limiter Module
5 to 3000 MHz
Features
• VOLTAGE VARIABLE LIMITING LEVEL: -10 TO 0 dBm
• LOW INSERTION LOSS AT LOW INPUT LEVELS: < 2.0 dB (TYP.)
• GOOD SUPPRESSION OF EVEN ORDER HARMONICS DUE TO
BALANCED CIRCUIT DESIGN
• EXCELLENT PHASE RESPONSE 0.3 DEGREE / dB TO
160 MHz (TYP.)
Description
The L1 signal limiter is a discrete hybrid design, which uses thin film
manufacturing processes for accurate performance and high reliability.
This design uses Schottky bridge quad and anti-parallel diodes, which
provide consistent limiting levels over a broadband frequency range.
Both TO-8 and SMTO-8 packages are hermetically sealed, and
MIL-STD-883 environmental screening is available.
