Abstract :
Presented in this paper are the results of simulation, optimization and fabrication of GaAs coplanar MMIC of the p-i-n diodes power limiter with small signal insertion loss lower than 0.3 dB and power limit level less than 100 mW at the input power 1 W within the frequency band up to 18 GHz. The MMIC can be used in order to protect input low noise amplifiers, increasing receiver noise figure less than 0.3 dB
