Waveguide Limiters – High-Power Microwave Protection
Overview
Waveguide limiters are critical components designed to safeguard sensitive receiver circuits from high-power microwave (HPM) signals. By providing robust input protection, they prevent damage to low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), mixers, and other front-end electronics in demanding RF and microwave systems.
Key Applications
-
Receiver Protection: Shields LNAs and downconverters from overload in radar, electronic warfare (EW), and communication systems.
-
Power Leveling (Limiting): Ensures stable signal levels in high-frequency instruments and test setups.
-
Radar & EW Systems: Defends against high-power pulses in military and aerospace applications.
-
Telecom & Satellite: Protects transceivers in satellite ground stations and 5G infrastructure.
