DATA SHEET ● SKY16603-632LF: High-Linearity Dual PIN Diode Limiter 0.6 to 6.0 GHzTheory of Operation A limiter prevents overload by allowing RF signals that are The device accomplishes this by incorporating a pair of below a certain threshold to pass through, but larger signals specially optimized PIN limiter diodes. The two internal DC exceeding the threshold are increasingly attenuated. The input/output capacitors provide DC blocking needed for most SKY16603-632LF has a lower threshold level compared to a applications. traditional self-bias limiter circuit with an inductor for a ground return.
