Future limiter diode market development will also be aided by the introduction of low threshold, high linearity, and dual pin limiter diodes for cellular infrastructure, 5G, and defense uses. The limiter diode, which was created for repeaters as well as wireless backhaul equipment, cellular infrastructure base stations, and other wireless systems, can also be used in a variety of other wireless systems, including S-Band radar, VSAT, GPS, jammers, military communications, Wi-Fi, automotive, and test instruments, further boosting the market growth.
One of the most significant and significant factors that will probably contribute to the growth of the limiter diode market in the anticipated timeframe is the growing need for RF switch applications, boosting usages of the limiter diode to switch RF signal paths that help in connecting antennas, amplifiers, and filters, rising number of advancements of multiband wireless devices, and acceptance of advanced and enhanced technologies for battery-powered and portable devices.
Increasing demand for the product, however, will result in several advantages, including high speed and isolation potential for non-mechanical options like CMOS switches as well as MEMS structures. This will further contribute by creating a wealth of opportunities that will drive the growth of the limiter diode market in the previously mentioned anticipated timeframe.
Various companies are investing in huge-scale research and development to enhance the overall efficacy of their products. For instance, For uses involving receiver protection, Skyworks presents three surface-mount limiter diodes. The shunt-linked PIN diodes for high-power limiter operations spanning from 10 MHz to over 6 GHz are surface-mountable, low-impedance silicon PIN limiter diodes. These limiter diodes are available in the general market and offer low loss, very low series inductive power, low capacitance, high power handling, and low heat resistance (40°C/W). Target marketplaces include commercial, defense, and infrastructure. Such factors are expected to accelerate the global demand for limiter diodes market from 2023 to 2033.
For example, The SLP7100 family of limiter diodes is the latest addition to SemiGen, Inc.'s growing product line. A narrow intrinsic layer high-resistivity epitaxial wafer (epi) is used to produce the SLP7100 limiter diodes. These semiconductors, which range in thickness from 2 to 20 microns, can be gold-doped to meet particular performance requirements. The SLP7100 limiter diodes have low capacitance, resistance, as well as turn-on time of as low as 5ns and are used in inactive or active limiter devices in the frequency bands of 100 MHz to 30 GHz. These simply bondable limiters have leakage output powers of +19 dBm to +44 dBm and maximal input powers varying from +47 dBm to +66 dBm. Ordinary insertion losses start at around 0.10. dB to almost a maximum range of 0.2 dB.
These limiters are perfect for protecting low-noise components from unwelcome power bursts or swell in applications requiring considerable power, such as radar, electronic warfare, as well as communications systems. SemiGen offers twenty various package types for the SLP7100 line, as well as chip form. Such developments will surely open up new avenues in this market in the coming years.

Limiter diodes sales is expected to grow at a steady CAGR of 8% - 10% during 2023 to 2033. The diode limiter aka clipper, is used to minimize the input voltage. Depending upon the circuit configuration and bias, the circuit may clip or eliminate all or part of an input waveform. A basic limiter diode circuit consists of a resistor and a diode.
It helps to reduce the output voltage to a specific value. These devices keep the current flowing through them unchanged when the voltage changes. These features are expected to boost the sales for limiter diodes during the forecast period.
Major elements driving the demand for limiter diodes is its high usage in communication systems as clippers, limiters, gates, clampers, computer systems as logic gates, television systems as phase detectors, radar circuits as gain control circuits, parameter amplifiers, and in power supply systems as inverters and rectifiers.
Moreover, the introduction of high linearity, low threshold, and dual pin limiter diode for cellular infrastructure, 5G and military applications is estimated to strongly augment the growth of limiter diodes market in the coming years.
Developed for repeater and wireless backhaul equipment, cellular infrastructure base station, the limiter diode can also be used in a wide range of wireless systems, such as S-Band radar, GPS, VSAT, jammers, military communications, automotive, Wi-Fi, and test instruments, thereby further adding momentum to the market growth.
Limiter diodes have been increasingly used in the radio frequency (RF) front-end in a range of wireless communication systems, such as microwave radio communications and cellular infrastructure (including 5G). The development of modern RF receivers requires a high-performance diode limiter that can operate in a wide bandwidth and at a high-input power level with easy integration, low cost, and compactness.
A diode limiter allows the RF signals below a certain threshold to pass through to avoid the damage of sensitive receiver components, but weakens the larger signals exceeding the threshold. Hence, the growing R&D for highly efficient limiter diodes is anticipated to fuel its demand in the near future.
Moreover, due to the widespread use of wireless and radar communication systems, development of high-power microwave weapons, and advancement of power pulse technology, the complications related to operations of several electronic information systems in electromagnetic environments are significantly increasing.
Therefore, positive-intrinsic-negative (PIN) diodes are majorly adopted as limiters in radio frequency receiver systems and communication front-ends, to protect sensitive components from damage due to external high-power microwave pulses.
The USA limiter diode production is currently being driven by several factors. A surge in R&D investments, predominantly in the defense & military sector, has amplified the demand for limiter diode in the country. At present, vendors in the defense industry are primarily focusing on product enhancement and speeding up their R&D process.
Moreover, while the defense sector in North America is expected to remain stable even in the pandemic’s disruption, the aerospace & aviation industry, especially commercial aerospace, is expected to face short term challenges. Although, long-term growth prospects for the defense & aerospace industry remains strong. Thus, to build scale and capture greater value, aerospace & defense companies could pursue merger and acquisition opportunities.
Also, the technological developments in space sector, such as hypersonics, advanced air mobility, hydrogen-powered aircraft, and electric propulsion are projected to fuel the limiter diodes product sales.
