Key benefits - Protects RF input stages with defined limits, helping to prevent overload and damage while preserving measurement accuracy. - Flexible dynamic range with two input paths: 0 dB attenuation for direct signal interaction and 30 dB attenuation for high-power signals, enabling safe operation across environments. - Quantified performance metrics for reliable system design: IIP3 of +15 dBm at 0 dB attenuation and P1dB of +2 dBm at 0 dB attenuation. - Short-term high power tolerance: up to +20 dBm input with 30 dB attenuation for brief events, expanding guard capability during bursts. Specifications (nominal) - Absolute maximum input level without attenuation: +10 dBm - Short-term absolute maximum input level with 30 dB attenuation: +20 dBm - Input IIP3 (third-order intercept point) with 0 dB attenuation: +15 dBm - 1 dB compression point (P1dB) with 0 dB attenuation: +2 dBm Use scenarios - RF test bench and measurement: characterize receiver linearity, IMD, and compression points with known input limits to plan test setups and budgets. - Front-end protection in wireless transceivers: absorb or attenuate power surges safely, reducing the risk of damage while maintaining a predictable signal path. - SDR and development platforms: provide clear dynamic range guidance for system design, allowing accurate planning of gain stages and link budgets.
