Targeting receiver protection applications, the LM series of limiters provides high-power protection at levels to 100 W CW and 2 kW peak power in SMT packages measuring only 8 x 5 x 2.5 mm. Covering a total frequency range of 20 MHz to 8 GHz, the series includes low-power (4 W CW), medium-power (30 W CW), and high-power (100 W CW) limiters.
All models feature flat leakage power of 20 dBm typ and exhibit low insertion loss for both low- and high-power applications. For example, model LM501202-M-C-300 spans 500 to 2000 MHz with insertion loss of 0.6 dB and power capability of 30 W CW. Ideal for receiver protection applications at L-band (1 to 2-GHz), S-band (2 to 4-GHz), and C-band (4 to 8-GHz) frequencies. LM Series limiters provide considerably higher thermal capacity than silicon and GaAs MMIC solutions. ($10 each — available now.)
