Abstract :
A limiting filter is a microwave circuit device which combines the nonlinear properties of a limiter with those of conventional filter designs. A limiting filter whose design is based on standard filter design theory is modified by the addition of PIN diodes or other nonlinear devices that give the filter limiting properties at high power levels. Examples of limiting filter designs are presented.<>
