Abstract
Methods and apparatus for a frequency selective limiter (FSL) having a magnetic material substrate that tapers in thickness and supports a transmission line that has segments and bends. The segments, which differ in width and are substantially parallel to each other, such that each segment traverses the substrate on a constant thickness of the substrate.
Claims20
A frequency selective limiter (FSL) comprising:
- a substrate comprising a magnetic material and having opposing first and second surfaces, wherein the substrate tapers from a first thickness to a second thickness which is less than the first thickness;
- and
- a transmission line positioned in relation to the first surface of the substrate, wherein the transmission line has segments and bends, wherein the segments are substantially parallel to each other, and wherein each segment traverses the substrate on a constant thickness of the substrate.
