Description
The GPL-1001 is a voltage con-
trolled signal limiter which covers
the 5 to 1000 MHz frequency
range. This thin-film limiter
features a voltage programmable
output level with an input level as
high as +26 dBm. It has low
VSWR, low insertion loss, excel-
lent second- and third-harmonic
suppression, and very low
AM-to-PM conversion. Recovery
from fully saturated input levels is
less than 50 nanoseconds. The
GPL-1001 is provided in the TO-12
package.
