Device Overview

General Description

The HLM-100001BH is a wide bandwidth GaAs Schottky diode signal limiter featuring high 27 dBm IP3 and high 4W power handling over a broad DC-10 GHz bandwidth. It offers low 1 dB insertion loss and excellent 25 dB return loss from DC through X band and has a typical 1 dB compression point of 10 dBm. Its high power handling makes it ideal for protecting sensitive components and for applications requiring high linearity.
