Abstract
This radiofrequency power limiter includes at least one transistor, a drain of the transistor being directly connected to a mesh connecting an input to an output of the limiter, a source of the transistor being connected to a common reference potential, and a gate of the transistor being connected to a common control potential. The transistor is not biased between its drain and its source during operation of the limiter.
