Device Overview
General Description
The HLM-8011 is a high-power GaAs Schottky diode signal limiter featuring high IP3 and high 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 low flat leakage makes it ideal for protecting sensitive components and for applications requiring high linearity. It is available as a wire bondable die and as a connectorized module.
Features
- DC to 30 GHz limiter
- 4.5W Peak Power (pulsed), 30dBm CW
- +7dBm Flat Leakage @ 1W CW
- Typical P1dB of +9dBm

Input Power at Observed Failure
Power handling specification is based on tests performed at different combinations of room temperature and frequency. Input power was increased until catastrophic failure was observed. Results are shown in the following table. The power handling specification listed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section is based on the worst observed power handling derated by 3dB.
