package. This PIN diode limiter provides exceptional
low and high signal frequency operation from
10 MHz to 12 GHz.
This device is ideally suited for higher frequency and
lower flat leakage limiter microwave circuit
applications where compact and higher performance
surface mount diode assemblies are required.
