Description
The MADL-011012 is a lead-free surface mount,
high power limiter which integrates the equivalent of
20 PIN, Schottky, limiter diodes, capacitors,
inductors, and resistors in a compact ceramic
package. This device provides superior low and high
signal performance from 0.3 - 1.0 GHz without DC
bias.
The MADL-011012 is ideally suitable for higher peak
and CW power receiver-protector microwave circuits
applications where higher performance surface
mount limiter assemblies are required.
