PIN DIODE LIMITERS PIN diode limiters are built to protect sensitive circuit elements such as receiver front ends or detectors. They reduce high power inputs to a low level that can be tolerated by the next component. Limiters may be categorized as conventional or feedback types. The family of conventional limiters typically exhibits leakage levels up to +20dBm with recovery times less than 40nsec. These models handle up to 100W peak power levels and cover the frequency range form 100MHz to 26GHz. Custom models with higher power handling are available.
