Abstract :
The characteristics of an X-band PIN-diode limiter are presented. A one-dimensional numerical diode model is used for the analysis. The influence of the diode base thickness on the computed and measured power-limiting characteristic and on the power dissipated in the diodes is investigated. The used modeling technique has proved to be an effective tool for the development of microwave control devices.
