Abstract :
In the last few years, significant progress has been made in the development of improved transmitting-receiving (TR) devices that provide increased reliability in comparison with gas-discharge TR tubes. For example, an all-ferrite TR device consisting of a high-power limiter and three fast-switching circulators is finding increasing application in modern airborne weather RADARs, This paper describes still another advance in the area of TR devices: a newly-developed, all-solid-state, passive limiter.
