Microwave Limiting Amplifier 8 to 12 GHz Model BXL9812 FEATURES • Reverse Bias Protection • Input Voltage Regulator • Laser Sealed Housing The Model BXL9812 is standard high frequency limiting amplifier covering 8 GHz to 12 GHz. This two stage design, utilizes an input voltage regulator to protect against fluctuations in supply voltage, reverse bias protection circuitry, and a laser sealed housing for the ultimate in environmental protection. This standard design may also be ordered in a screened MILSTD-883 version as a model SXL9812. All specification ratings are based on measurements in a 50 ohm system with a DC supply voltage tolerance of +/- 2%. Parameter Typical Min. / Max.
