About
Mercury Systems’ high-power RF limiters are designed for SWaP-sensitive applications that require full functionality in harsh operating environments. These limiters feature a unique PIN diode architecture that minimizes junction temperatures, ensuring long life even under high-power conditions. The newly released broadband, high-power surface mount (SMT) limiters demonstrate Mercury’s commitment to SWaP-optimized designs. By replacing cable interconnects with surface mount technology, these limiters achieve significant physical footprint reductions without compromising performance or reliability. This innovation allows for scalable and repeatable production of cutting-edge technology, supporting rapid ramp-up to full-rate production while reducing risk.
