  • Abstract
    Utilizing saturation of magnetostatic surface waves propagating in thin YIG films, the signal-to-noise enhancer (or power expander) performs the opposite function from that of the power limiter; weak signals suffer up to 20 to 30 dB greater attenuation than do strong signals. This discrimination takes place on a frequency selective basis over an instantaneous bandwidth of one-third octave or more. Basic principles, construction methods, and experimental results are discussed.
