Abstract:

This report discusses the experimental results obtained for single stage and dual stage varactor limiters. It is shown that for a complete Pre-TR- TRL passive receiver protector, insertion losses below .7 dB and forward bias isolations of at least 36 dB are possible. Continued developmental efforts have led to an improved ignitorless gas limiter protector that has breakdown and leakage performance characteristics comparable to a tube containing a dc keep alive operating at 100 microamperes current.
