Broadband Ferrite Limiters.

Abstract

The object of the program is to develop broadband frequency selective ferrite limiters in the frequency ranges from 12 - 14 GHz and from 14 - 16 GHz. The prototypes built for this program have limiting threshold less than 100 mw, dynamic range greater than 20 db and small signal insertion loss of 1 db over a temperature range of -32C to +85C. With peak input power of 10W, the spike leakage is less than 3 ergs. When input peak power is 10 db above threshold, 1 db compression of a small signal occurs 20 MHz away.
