Abstract :
We describe the design, construction, and performance of a T/R module receive limiter implemented in Lockheed Martin´s Plastic High Density Interconnect (PHDI) technology. Realization of the receive limiter in PHDI technology minimizes size and cost, while maintaining excellent thermal and electrical performance.
