A WIDE-BAND, SOLID-STATE, HARD LIMITER

Abstract

A wide-band, solid-state, hard limiter with unusual dynamic capability is described. The method of limiting employed is a nonlinear process in the form of diode feedback circuits in conjunction with high-gain linear transistor amplifiers. Problems encountered in the design of a limiter are nonlinear, but techniques are derived that enable the engineer to estimate the limiter performance without resorting to computer solutions. Limiters of the form described have obvious application in systems that require elimination of amplitude information. (Author)
