+5 to +30 dBm
Limiter
RLM-23+
50Ω Broadband 950 to 2050 MHz
The Big Deal
•High CW input power, 1 W
CASE STYLE: CK1246-1
•Very low limiting output power, ≤0 dBm typ.
•Very fast response time, 2 nsec
Product Overview
The RLM-23+ protects against damage from unwanted signals over a wide frequency range, 950 to 2050
MHz, at up to 1W power. Construction is on a micro strip low loss dielectric material and cased into a high
volume, low cost package for cost efficiencies. Measuring 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.18” high, these tiny units provide
excellent protection for IF circuits in satellite receivers, or low noise amplifiers in hostile environments where
unwanted signals prevail, such as in manufacturing sites, train tunnels, etc.
Key Features
Feature
Advantages
Protects against strong undesired signals and prevents burn out of amplifiers and the satura-
tion of sensitive IF circuitry
Limiting abilities from +5 to +30 dBm
Very low power output prevents saturation of satellite IF circuits, and offers extra protection
for expensive, highly sensitive components following the limiter
0 dBm typ. output power
Very low insertion loss, 0.7 dB typ.
Frequency coverage 950 to 2050 MHz
Response time 2 nsec
Preserves the strength of low-power signals
Protection against many sources generating unwanted signals
Reacts almost instantaneously to limit unwanted high-level signals
Minimal downtime after unwanted signals are removed, with very quick restoration of stan-
dard operating levels
Recovery time 8 nsec
Small surface-mount package
Low cost
Allows convenient placement in amplifiers incorporating this protective device
Practical, low-cost solution to protect expensive amplifiers or other sensitive applications
from burning out
