Device Overview
General Description
The HLM-40ABH is a wide bandwidth GaAs Schottky diode signal limiter featuring high IP3 and medium power handling. It offers low insertion loss and low return loss from DC through Ka band and has a typical 1dB compression point of 9dBm. Its medium power handling makes it ideal for protecting sensitive components and for applications requiring high linearity.
Features
- DC to 40 GHz limiter
- 2W CW Power Handling @ 2 GHz
- Bullet Housing
Applications
