TGL2205 S and C-Band 100 W VPIN Limiter Product Description The Qorvo TGL2205 is a high power, wideband MMIC GaAs VPIN limiter capable of protecting sensitive receive channel components against high power incident signals. The TGL2205 does not require DC bias and achieves a low insertion loss all in a small form factor. These features allow for simple integration with minimal impact to system performance. The TGL2205 operates from 1 to 6 GHz and achieves low insertion loss of 0.5 dB and return loss of 12 dB. It can limit up to 100 W incident pulsed-power with a low flat leakage of 16 dBm. Product Features The TGL2205 has a protective surface passivation layer Frequency Range: 16GHz providing environmental robustness and is ideally suited to support both commercial and defense related applications. Insertion Loss: < 0.5 dB Peak Power Handling: 100 W (pulsed) Flat Leakage: < 16 dBm Spike Leakage: < 17 dBm Passive (no DC bias required) Integrated DC Block on the output Recovery Time: < 115 nS Die Size: 2.00 x 2.00 x 0.10mm Performance is typical across frequency.
