Description

Sensitive receivers and preamplifiers may be damaged if exposed to too much RF input power.  This could occur if a receiver is co-located with a powerful transmitter.  This limiter can help prevent such damage.  It will limit strong input signals to less than +10 dBm and is designed to fail “open”, blocking all input signals, if presented with about 1 watt or more of energy.  For signals below about -6 dBm, it has less than 1 dB insertion loss through 54 MHz.

The TAPR RF Limiter is designed for use at 54 MHz and below.  Operation at higher frequencies is possible if greater small-signal insertion loss can be tolerated.  The RF Limiter does not require user assembly.

Important Note: In the presence of strong signals, the limiter is a non-linear device (a diode) and may generate undesired spurious signals that could be re-radiated from a connected antenna.  Please keep this in mind to minimize interference to other services.  Putting a bandpass filter in front of the limiter can reduce this re-radiation.
