Features

  • Passive wideband design covering 0.1 to 20 GHz.

  • Handles up to 10 W peak input power with defined pulse conditions.

  • Low insertion loss of 2.0 dB maximum across the operating band.

  • Fast recovery time of 40 ns for rapid return to nominal sensitivity.

  • SMA female RF connectors for straightforward system integration.

  • Compact, gold-finished module optimised for defence-grade environments.


Benefits

  • Protects high-value receivers from costly RF damage and unplanned downtime.

  • Maintains system sensitivity while adding robust RF limiting capability.

  • Enhances resilience against future high-power and Directed Energy Weapon threats.

  • Simplifies integration into existing R-ESM and EW platforms with minimal redesign.

  • Supports modular RF hardening within Teledyne Phobos-based architectures.

  • Reduces lifecycle risk by minimising repair cycles and logistics burden.


​

Applications

  • Radar Electronic Support Measure (R-ESM) systems require wideband RF protection.
  • Electronic Warfare platforms operating in dense, contested RF environments.
  • Radar receiver front-end protection for surveillance and threat warning systems.
  • Defence and military communication systems are ​​exposed to high-power RF sources.
  • RF front-end hardening against Directed Energy Weapon-style threats.
  • Modular RF protection accessory for Phobos and other multi-domain EW solutions.
