Crane Aerospace & Electronics Microwave Solutions STL 400 SERIES HIGH POWER LIMITERS TECHNICAL FEATURE FEATURES EW and Commercial Applications 2 – 100 Watt Power Handling Capability Low Insertion Loss Low VSWR Coaxial Design Drop-in Design Replaceable Connectors Reliability Screening DESCRIPTION/APPLICATIONS DESCRIPTION/APPLICATIONS Crane provides the Model STL400 Series passive high power limiters for the protection of microwave circuits and receivers. All models are available in both hermetically sealed coaxial and drop-in packages. A unique design approach offers wideband performance and high reliability in a compact package. The STL400 Series provides a higher limiting threshold and faster recovery characteristics as well as higher isolation (lower leakage) with higher power handling. Crane is qualified as a MIL-I-45208 Quality Systems facility by the DOD and lending foreign and domestic military OEM’s. MIL-STD-883 screening is available in-house at additional cost.
