Limiter LMTDC18G-8W-16

Limiter LMTDC18G-8W-16 | Power Limiter DC-18GHz

Protect Sensitive RF Receivers with the FCD-Tech Limiter LMTDC18G-8W-16

Engineered for communication receivers, laboratory test setups, and sensor radar systems, the LMTDC18G-8W-16 broadband power limiter from FCD-Tech safeguards downstream components against high-power RF transients across DC to 18GHz.

Key Technical Specifications

  • Frequency Range: DC to 18GHz
  • RF Power Handling: 8W (CW)
  • Limiting Power: 16dBm
  • Insertion Loss: 0.5dB (typ.)
  • Input/Output Return Loss: -15dB
  • Impedance: 50Ω
  • Connectors: SMA Male (Input) / SMA Female (Output)
  • Dimensions: 42.2mm (length)

Built on a 50Ω matched input/output architecture, the LMTDC18G-8W-16 delivers low insertion loss and stable return loss performance across its full ultra-wide operating band, clamping input power to a safe 16dBm limiting threshold while handling up to 8W CW. ESD-protected to Class 0 (150V), the unit is qualified to MIL-STD-810F shock and vibration standards — 25g rms endurance across 1 hour per axis, plus 20G non-operating shock across 3 axes — making it suitable for demanding field and laboratory environments from -45°C to +85°C operating temperature.

Whether protecting a communication receiver front end, characterizing devices on the test bench, or safeguarding sensor radar electronics from unexpected power spikes, the LMTDC18G-8W-16 delivers reliable, repeatable protection across DC to 18GHz in a compact SMA-connectorized package.
