LM-10M37G-15DBM-10W-AGAL
PMI MODEL: LM-10M37G-15DBM-10W-AGAL IS A PASSIVE LIMITER THAT
OPERATES IN THE FREQUENCY
RANGE OF 10 MHz TO 37 GHz. THIS MODEL IS CAPABLE OF HANDLING AN
INPUT POWER OF 25 TO 10
WATTS CW (20MHz - 18GHz ) AND 50 TO 40 WATTS PULSE PEAK POWER
(20MHz - 18GHZ), WITH 1µs PW,
1% DUTY CYCLE, THIS LIMITER USES 2.92 FEMALE CONNECTORS.
