RF & microwave receivers are used to detect low level signals, therefore require high gain, sensitive circuits at the input to reduce the noise floor. Due to the sensitive nature, these circuits are often susceptible to damage if exposed to high level signals. In...

Mini-Circuits’ limiters cover a very broad frequency range from 3 KHz to 900 MHz, dynamic range from +3 to +20 dBM, and provide exceptionally hard limiting of 0.05 dB output change per dB input change. All models have been designed to provide very small phase...

Q. Please describe the spectrum at the output of a limiter. A. Since a limiter acts in a saturated mode, its output contains many harmonics of the applied input signal. The harmonic content is a function of the bias current and applied power level. Figure 1 Q. Will a...
