Thermal management features involve a proprietary design that minimizes thermal resistance from the PIN Diode junction-to-base plate (RTHJ-A).

MILPITAS, Calif. – The Teledyne Defense Electronics Teledyne e2v HiRel segment in Milpitas, Calif., is introduced the TDLM202402 high-power signal limiter for demanding electronic warfare (EW) and radar applications.

A quasi-active S-band SMT PIN diode limiter that offers always-on high power continuous wave (CW) and peak protection, the TDLM202402 comes in an 8-by-5-millimeter packages, and uses hybrid assembly technology.

It has 50 dBm 100-Watt CW power handling capability and 60 dBm 1,000-Watt peak power from 2 to 4 GHz at a 25-microsecond pulse width at 5 percent duty cycle.

These RF and microwave parts are screened and qualified for high-reliability applications, and operate in temperatures from -65 go 125 degrees Celsius.

Thermal management features involve a proprietary design methodology that minimizes thermal resistance from the PIN Diode junction-to-base plate (RTHJ-A).

The signal limiter design employs a two-stage detector circuit which enables ultra-fast turn-on of the high-power PIN Diodes.
