Description

The LM102202-H-C-301 surface mount silicon PIN

diode limiters is manufactured using proven hybrid

manufacturing process incorporating PIN diodes and

passive

devices

integrated

within

a ceramic

substrate. This low profile, compact, surface mount

component, (8 mm L x 5 mm W x 2.5 mm H) offers

superior low and high signal performance to

comparable MMIC devices in QFN packages. The

limiter modules are designed to optimize small signal

insertion loss, noise figure and high signal flat

leakage performance in a compact, surface mount

package. Using PIN diodes with lower thermal

resistance (<10°C/W), and a De-coupled Schottky

detector network as a current source, RF CW

incident power levels of 47 dBm and RF peak

incident power levels of 53 dBm @ 20 μs RF pulse

width, 1% duty cycle are very achievable. In

addition, this design concept provides lower flat

leakage power (<17 dBm) and lower spike leakage

energy (<0.5 Ergs) for superior LNA protection.

This LM102202-H-C-301 limiter is ideal for octave

band radar applications, requiring high volume,

surface mount, solder re-flow manufacturing. These

products are durable, reliable, and capable of

meeting all military, commercial, and industrial

environments. These devices are RoHS compliant

and are available in tube or tape-reel.
