Abstract :
An overview of high power microwave threats and the development of a distributed frequency-selective microwave power limiter are presented in this paper. The design of the proposed device is based on power dissipation by electron emission. Indeed vacuum components are supposedly able to handle very high frequency signals at high power levels. Electromagnetic simulations will be compared to broadband characterization results.
