Limiter Type


	Limiter Type
	Your choices are...
	Conventional Limiter		Conventional PIN diode limiters are designed to protect sensitive circuit elements. They reduce high power inputs to low levels that can be tolerated by the next component.
	Feedback Limiter		Feedback limiters have lower threshold and leakage levels than standard limiters in order to protect more sensitive components.
	High Power Limiter		High power limiters protect sensitive receiver circuits from close proximity, high power signals.
	Other		Other unlisted limiter types.

Performance Specifications


	Frequency Band		Frequency band is the frequency range for which RF limiters meet all guaranteed specifications.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Peak Power		Peak power is the maximum power for which RF limiters meet all guaranteed specifications.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.

	Average Power		Average power is the typical power for which RF limiters meet all guaranteed specifications.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.

	Insertion Loss		Insertion loss is the total RF power transmission loss resulting from the insertion of a device in a transmission line. Measured in decibels (dB), insertion loss is defined as the ratio of signal power at the output of the inserted device to the input signal power at the input of the inserted device.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

	Spike Leakage		Spike leakage is the amount of current that leaves on the phase and does not return on the ground.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

	Flat Leakage		Flat leakage is the undesirable loss of a signal through an RF limiter under normal usage.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

	Pulse Width		Pulse width is the time interval between the leading edge and the trailing edge of a pulse at a point where the amplitude is half of the peak value.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Recovery Time		Recovery time is the time required for normalization of the signal.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

	Input VSWR		Voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is a unitless ratio that ranges from one to infinity and expresses the amount of reflected energy at the input of the device. A value of one indicates that all of the energy passes through. Any other value indicates that a portion of the energy is deflected.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

Other Specifications


	Package Type
	Your choices are...
	Surface Mount Technology (SMT)		Surface mount technology (SMT) adds components to a printed circuit board (PCB) by soldering component leads or terminals to the top surface of the board. SMT components have a flat surface that is soldered to a flat pad on the face of the PCB. Typically, the PCB pad is coated with a paste-like formulation of solder and flux. With careful placement, SMT components on solder paste remain in position until elevated temperatures, usually from an infrared oven, melt the paste and solder the component leads to the PCB pads. Industry-standard pick-and-place equipment can mount SMT components quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively. SMT is a widely used alternative to mounting processes that insert pins or terminals through holes and solder leads into place on the opposite side of the board.
	Through Hole Technology (THT)		Through hole technology (THT) mounts components on a printed circuit board (PCB) by inserting component leads through holes in the board and then soldering the leads in place on the opposite side of the board.
	Connectorized		Connectorized devices attach with coaxial or other types of connectors.
	Waveguide Assembly		Waveguide assemblies are used in microwave waveguide systems. They consist of a hollow metallic conductor with a rectangular, elliptical, or circular cross-section. Some conductors contain solid or gaseous dielectric materials.
	Other		Other unlisted packages.

	RF Connector
	Your choices are...
	BNC		Bayonet Neil-Concelman (BNC) connectors were designed for military applications, but are used widely in video and RF applications to 2 GHz. BNC connectors have a slotted outer conductor and a plastic dielectric that causes increasing losses at higher frequencies. BNC connectors are usable above 4 GHz as long as the slots radiate signals; however, these devices may not be mechanically stable to 10 GHz. Both 50 and 75 BNC connectors are available. BNC connectors are also known as bayonet navy connectors or baby Neil connectors.
	MCX		Miniature coaxial (MCX) connectors provide broadband capability through 6 GHz and are used in applications where weight and physical space are limited. They provide good electrical performance and are used to address the rapid implementation of the U.S. digital cellular PCN infrastructure. MCX connectors are also used in global positioning systems (GPS) and wireless LAN (WLAN) applications.
	Mini-UHF		Mini-UHF connectors are a miniature version of the original UHF connector. They feature a threaded coupling mechanism for reliable mating. Mini-UHF connectors are designed for use in cellular mobile telephone systems where size, weight and cost are critical. With crimp cable termination for low installation costs, these connectors provide excellent RF performance in applications through 2.5 GHz.
	MMCX		Micro-miniature coaxial (MMCX) connectors are smaller than MCX connectors and feature a more robust interface for greater durability. They are ideal for high volume, wireless SMT or PCMCIA applications in cellular base stations, cellular phones and personal communicators. MMCX connectors are also used in global positioning systems and wireless LAN (WLAN) applications.
	SMA		Subminiature-A (SMA) connectors are intended for use on semi-rigid cables in components. They directly interface the cable dielectric without air gaps. They are not intended for permanent connections.
	SMB		Subminiature-N (SMB) connectors are snap-mount connectors that are available either in 50 or 75 impedances. They are used for frequencies from DC to 4GHz.
	SMP		Subminiature P (SMP) connectors are rated to 40 GHz and, depending on detent type, can withstand from 100 to 1,000 interconnect cycles.
	TNC		Threaded Neil-Concelman (TNC) connectors are similar in size to BNC connectors but feature a threaded coupling nut for applications that require performance to 11 GHz. TNC connectors are durable, reliable devices that are widely used in the cellular and mobile communication industry for equipment cabling and antenna interfaces.
	Type F		Type F connectors have a screw-type coupling and frequency range up to 1.5 GHz. Applications include CATV, TV, and antennas.
	Type N		Type N connectors include an integrated gasket to protect against environmental ingress and create an air gap between the center and the outer conductor. They primarily have 50 impedance, but 75 versions for CATV, are available.
	UHF		Ultra high frequency (UHF) connectors are economical, all-purpose connectors designed with non-constant impedance for use in comparatively low voltage and low frequency applications such as citizens' band (CB) communications systems. UHF connectors are also used in public address systems, closed circuit television (CCTV), civil defense, landing systems, ground control apparatus, ship-to-shore communications, and mobile radio equipment hookups between antenna and transmitters or receivers.
	1.6 / 5.6		1.6 / 5.6 connectors are mechanically sturdy devices that feature a coupling mechanism. They are often used with equipment that requires resistance against environmental and mechanical stress. 1.6 / 5.6 connectors are also suitable for handling RF analog and digital signals in telecommunications systems.
	7-16		The 7-16 series name is derived from the metric dimensions of the connector interface: 7mm outer diameter (OD) of inner contact and 16 mm inner diameter (ID) of outer contact. 7-16 connectors are designed for medium to high power communication systems. They provide exceptional performance in multichannel cellular systems where power levels approximate 100 W per channel. 7-16 connectors can accommodate both flexible and corrugated cables and are used in a variety of cellular base station and broadcast communication applications.
	Other		Other unlisted connector types.
