Comb limiter combiner for frequency-hopped communications

A comb limiter combiner for frequency-hopped communications comprising:

• an input signal coupler;
• a plurality of input bandpass filters connected directly to said input signal coupler;
• a plurality of limiters respectively connected directly to said plurality of input bandpass filters for clipping peak amplitudes above a critical value;
• a plurality of output bandpass filters corresponding to said input bandpass filters respectively connected directly to said plurality of limiters for attenuating intermodulation products;
• and an output signal coupler connected directly to said plurality of output bandpass filters,
• wherein each said input bandpass filter and each said corresponding output bandpass filter have a substantially equal center frequency, bandwidth, and frequency rolloff, said input and output bandpass filters being matched to received a respective channel of a frequency-hopped transmitted signal, and
• wherein said plurality of input bandpass filters have contiguous frequency rolloffs that overlap at frequencies substantially equal to 3 dB points of said input bandpass filters,
• so that a desired frequency-hopped signal is received through any one pair of matched input and output bandpass filters at a time.
