Limiting Amplifiers​​​ 

Teledyne Microwave Solutions (TMS) offers a range of Limiting Amplifiers which are used in instantaneous frequency and phase measurement receivers. The most important performance requirement of a limiting amplifier is to minimize output power variations, and provide a constant output over a wide input dynamic range.

TMS LIMITING AMPLIFIERS At-A-Glance
  • FREQUENCY: 10MHz to 35GHz
  • BANDWIDTHS: Narrow Band to Multi Octave
  • CONFIGURATION/PACKAGING: SM, Leaded, Connectorized, Waveguide
  • PLATFORMS: Ground, Airborne, Marine, Space
  • APPLICATIONS: Military, Commercial, Satcom, Comms
  • EXPORT CLASSIFICATIONS: EAR99 & ITAR

TMS Limiters and Limiting Amplifiers are available in Thru hole, Surface Mount or SMA package types, providing input protect limiting, fixed output limiting, and/or added Gain. Benefits include low VSWR and excellent Flatness vs. Frequency.
