Limiting amplifier for instantaneous frequency measuring system
Abstract
The microwave integrated-circuit limiting amplifier (LA) described in this article was designed to provide a constant output signal level over a wide (8 to 11 GHz) frequency band while the input signal level varies over the range of -50 to 0 dBm. A salient feature of the LA is the slope of the output power versus frequency response. This slope allows the LA to function as a wide-band limiter/discriminator when a suitable detector is added to the output.
