  • Abstract
    This letter describes a novel absorptive limiter for frequency-selective circuits. The proposed circuit allows the design of absorptive limiters based on a bi-state phase shifter, which is appropriate for integration into channelizing devices, such as hybrid-coupled input multiplexers. A preliminary prototype with shunt PIN diodes has been fabricated and measured to demonstrate the viability of the concept.
