High Power 40GHz Limiter: HLM-40ABH
The HLM-40ABH is a high-power, wideband signal limiter designed for protection and performance in RF systems operating from DC up to 40 GHz.
Utilizing GaAs Schottky diode technology, this device delivers low insertion loss and low return loss across its entire frequency range, making it ideal for applications requiring both signal integrity and robust protection of sensitive receiver components.
This limiter features a typical 1 dB compression point at +9 dBm and is capable of handling up to 2 watts continuous wave (CW) power at 2 GHz. It supports high third-order intercept point (IP3) performance, ensuring excellent linearity and minimal signal distortion, even in high dynamic range environments. The HLM-40ABH is particularly suited for systems that demand medium power protection with high-speed response and broad frequency coverage.
Housed in a compact bullet housing (BH) format, the limiter integrates easily into RF front ends and test setups. Its robust design and high-frequency capability make it well-suited for use in RF transceivers, satellite communication (SATCOM) systems, and test and measurement equipment, especially those operating within the Ka-band.
The HLM-40ABH complies with REACH and RoHS standards, and is classified under EAR99 for export control, making it a globally accessible component for commercial and defense applications.
In summary, the HLM-40ABH combines wide bandwidth, medium power handling, and excellent linearity in a compact package, offering an efficient and reliable solution for protecting RF components in high-performance, high-frequency systems.
