Abstract :
A new type of microwave power limiter without spike leakage is studied based on a very fast bulk effect in semiconductors. A numerical study of the structure is presented and expected performances of two common semiconductors are shown. Theoretical results and experimental verifications point out the very fast response of this new device, and consequently the "spikeless" response curve to any power impulse shape.
