Limiters

Overview

CAES Limiters are designed to provide protection of sensitive circuit elements such as receiver front ends or detectors.

CAES Limiters reduce high power inputs to a low level that can protect critical components in the RF signal chain.  Limiters may be categorized as conventional or feedback types.  We offer a variety of standard with sub, multi, and octave as well as broadband frequency ranges of power handling, leakage levels and recovery times.  Interconnect options range from surface mount (QFN or leaded) to connectorized models.  Custom models are available with higher power handling or devices optimized to meet your performance requirements.
