FMLM2006

Overview

The FMLM2006 is a power limiter designed for space applications, manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates within a frequency range of 2 GHz to 18 GHz. The device handles continuous wave input power of 5 W and peak input power of 43.01 dBm. CW flat leakage is specified at 14 dBm or 0.025 W.

Feature Summary

• Engineered specifically for space application environments
• Provides signal limiting protection across a wide microwave bandwidth

Applications

• Spacecraft RF systems
• Satellite communication links
• High-frequency microwave circuits requiring over-power protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version with Fairview Microwave to confirm mechanical dimensions and thermal characteristics suitable for your integration. Ensure that the 5 W CW input power rating aligns with your system's maximum operational levels to prevent device damage. Confirm availability directly through official channels as distribution status may vary.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband limiter from 2 GHz to 18 GHz is required for space-grade reliability. Consider the 43.01 dBm peak power handling capability against potential transient spikes in your signal chain. Evaluate the 14 dBm leakage level to ensure it meets the sensitivity requirements of downstream components without excessive attenuation during normal operation.
