Description
The LM501202-M-C-300 surface mount silicon PIN
diode limiter is manufactured using a proven hybrid
manufacturing process incorporating PIN diodes and
passive devices integrated within
a
ceramic
substrate. This low profile, compact, surface mount
component offers superior low and high signal
performance to comparable MMIC devices in QFN
packages. The limiter modules are designed to
optimize small signal insertion loss, noise figure and
high signal flat leakage performance from 0.5 - 2.0
GHz.
Limiter Schematic
Using PIN diodes with lower thermal resistance
(<15°C/W), RF CW incident power levels of 45 dBm
and RF peak incident power levels of 53 dBm @
1 μs RF pulse width, 0.1% duty cycle are very
achievable. In addition, this design concept provides
lower flat leakage power (<21 dBm) and lower spike
leakage energy (<0.3 Ergs) for superior LNA
protection.
Ordering Information
This LM501202-M-C-300 limiters are ideal for octave
band radar applications, requiring high volume,
surface mount, solder re-flow manufacturing. These
products are durable, reliable, and capable of
meeting all military, commercial, and industrial
environments. The devices are fully RoHS compliant
and are available in tube or tape-reel.
