Abstract
Systems and methods for operating a communication device. The methods comprise: obtaining a signal; allowing the signal to pass through a junction of a communication path to which a reflective frequency selective limiter is coupled; attenuating unwanted components of the signal using the reflective frequency selective limiter; and reflecting remaining components of the signal by the reflective frequency selective limiter so that the remaining components travel downstream along the communication path.
Claims23
A method for operating a communication device, comprising:
- obtaining a signal by the communication device;
- allowing the signal to pass through a first junction of a communication path to which a first reflective frequency selective limiter is coupled;
- attenuating first unwanted components of the signal using the first reflective frequency selective limiter;
- and
- reflecting remaining components of the signal by the first reflective frequency selective limiter so that the remaining components travel downstream along the communication path.
The method according to claim 12, further comprising providing an electrical length between the first junction and the short circuit reflection point caused by the first reflective frequency selective limiter equal to 90° plus n multiplied by 180°, where n is an integer equal to or greater than zero.
A transmitter, comprising:
- a plurality of electronic devices configured to facilitate communication of a signal over a communication link;
- and
- at least a first reflective frequency selective limiter coupled to at least one of the electronic devices via a first junction along a transmission line through which a signal passes during operation of the transmitter, the first reflective frequency selective limiter configured to (i) attenuate first unwanted components of the signal and (ii) reflect remaining components of the signal so that the remaining components travel downstream along the transmission line.
