PIN DIODE LIMITERS
Features
Silicon Pin Diodes limiters are mainly used as
a protector in receiving systems. Pin Diodes offer the
unique capability to handle high breakdown voltage.
Their rugged construction enables to withstand
moderate and large pulse power.
TEMEX proposes low level power up to 1000 W in
a wide variety of frequencies from 0.5 up to 18 GHz.
Coaxial and drop-in limiters are available on standard.
Description
The LH series offers a complete line of wide band
limiters and passive solid state protectors.
They are covering octave and multi-octave
frequencies bandwidth. Design goal is focusing on
high power limitation for airborne EW and Radar.
Handling power is up to 1000W peak power and flat
leakage less than 20 dBm.
Additional characteristics and custom design are available on request!
Consult your local Sales Office.

Peak power:
Rating is defined at 1 µs pulse width/duty cycle: 10
-3
and 25° C
o
Spike leakage:
0.2 ERGS (typical)
o
Leakage power:
(1) Measured with 1 W CW input power
(2) Measured with 100 W, 1 µs pulse
Maximum flat leakage is tested at 1 µs pulse width/duty cycle:
10
-3
and 25° C with external DC return of less than 1
Ω.
