RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a 10MHz to 6GHz RF power limiter capable of handling 100 watts of pulsed input power. Peregrine Semiconductor’s PE45361 is a monolithic structure 8 times smaller than discrete, PIN-diode solutions and eliminates thermal hysteresis. The adjustable input 1dB compression point (limiting threshold) is set from +7 to +13dBm via a low current control voltage (VCTRL), eliminating the need for external bias components such as DC blocking capacitors, RF choke inductors and bias resistors. Fast response time of <1ns ensures instantaneous protection of sensitive components and rapid return to normal operation. Highly flexible…
