Abstract
Analytical and experimental results obtained on aC-band ferrite limiter which utilizes a YIG rod inserted down the center of a coupled dielectric resonator bandpass structure are described. This device is aimed at providing receiver protection for communication systems operating in a dense, high signal power environment. By utilizing a long thin single-crystal YIG rod instead of YIG spheres, the dynamic range has been extended from 20 dB to 35 dB. The threshold power varies from 5 dBm at 4.4 GHz to 15 dBm at 5 GHz with an insertion loss of less than 1 dB.
