L1 / SML1 Thin Film Limiter Module 5 to 3000 MHz Rev. V2 Features • • • VOLTAGE VARIABLE LIMITING LEVEL: -10 TO 0 dBm LOW INSERTION LOSS AT LOW INPUT LEVELS: < 2.0 dB (TYP.) GOOD SUPPRESSION OF EVEN ORDER HARMONICS DUE TO BALANCED CIRCUIT DESIGN • EXCELLENT PHASE RESPONSE 0.3 DEGREE / dB TO 160 MHz (TYP.) Description Product Image The L1 signal limiter is a discrete hybrid design, which uses thin film manufacturing processes for accurate performance and high reliability. This design uses Schottky bridge quad and anti-parallel diodes, which provide consistent limiting levels over a broadband frequency range. Both TO-8 and SMTO-8 packages are hermetically sealed, and MIL-STD-883 environmental screening is available. Ordering Information Part Number Package L1 TO-8 SML1 Surface Mount CL1 ** SMA Connectorized ** The connectorized version is not RoHs compliant.
