DIODE LIMITER
0.1-18 GHz
GENERAL INFORMATION
The LT se ies high speed Diode Limiters (receiver protectors) are used
r
at the input of sensiti e recei ers in order to protect them against acci-
v
v
dental b urnout caused y high levels of CW or pulsed o wer. Most mo -
b
p
d
els areb uilt i n “air free” solid dielect ic str iplin e, and can there ore handle
r
f
high values of high p wer.

4. If a narr ow frequency bandwidth is required KDI/ riangle can supply a unit
T
that is elect ically optimized f or that bandwidth Mechanical dimensions will
r
.
remain the same as the standard unit, and the price will gene ally be lo wer.
r
Specify the frequency ange when orde ing a narrow bandwidth model and
r
r
a special pa t number will be assigned.

5. To insure full limiting the applied RF p wer shoulde xceed 100 atts peak
