+17 to +30 dBm Limiter RLM-33H+ 50 Broadband 30 to 3000 MHz The Big Deal Wideband, 30 to 3000 MHz Low insertion loss, 0.23 dB CASE STYLE: TT1224 Fast recovery time, 16ns Excellent VSWR, 1.05:1 Output power, +18 dBm Product Overview Mini-Circuits RLM-33H+ is a broadband surface-mount limiter, ideal for protecting sensitive receiver cir- cuitry from high-power signals while allowing low-scattered signals to be received. With wide limiting range from +17 to +30 dBm and +18 dBm output power, the RLM-33H+ is suitable for many situations where un- wanted signals prevail. The limiter is housed in a durable, surface-mount plastic package measuring 0.25 x 0.31 x 0.16, accommodating tight PCB layouts. Key Features Feature Advantages Ideal for a variety of applications where there is a need to protect sensitive receiver cir- Wideband operation, from 30 to 3000 MHz cuitry from unwanted signals as well as control ESD and power surges on the network. Low insertion loss, 0.23 dB Preserves the strength of low-power signals in the receive path. Excellent VSWR, 1.05:1 Provides excellent matching with minimal signal reflection back to the source. Minimal downtime after unwanted signals are removed with very quick restoration of Rapid recovery, 16ns standard operating levels. Low delta output per 1 dB delta input maintains signal stability in the presence of volatile 0.2 dB output / 1 dB input input signal conditions. Low output power prevents saturation of receiver circuitry and provides extra protection Low-output power, +18 dBm for sensitive components. High input power at 0.1 dB compression, Low distortion in linear range. +9 dBm typ. High IP3, +35 dBm typ. at 0 dBm input. Minimizes intermodulation of wideband signals. Notes A.
