Description
1. Description
The model TVS-15G is an ultra-high bandwidth transient voltage suppressor functional from DC – 15 GHz. This device is designed to protect oscilloscopes from high frequency, high voltage transients, such as ESD measurement. The TVS-15G will clamp high voltage transients and is matched to 50 Ω system.
2. Features
- Functional for a wide bandwidth (DC – 15 GHz)
- Clamps high frequency, high voltage transients to between ±2 V and ±7.5 V
- Useful for IEC 61000-4-2 contact and air discharge up to ±12 kV and ±18 kV, respectively
- Matched to 50 Ω system
- Insertion loss at 15 GHz approximately 0.8 dB
- Return loss at 1 GHz less than 30 dB
3. Applications
- Oscilloscope protection for high frequency, high voltage measurements
- General protection device for measurements in a 50 Ω system
