The invention relates to the technical field of
radio frequency devices, in particular to an amplitude
limiter circuit structure integrated with a filtering function by a
gallium arsenide process, and the circuit sequentially comprises a 50-
ohm microstrip input matching section, a first-stage amplitude limiting filtering unit, a second-stage amplitude limiting filtering unit and an output matching section along a main
transmission line, in the first stage, three forward PIN diodes and three reverse PIN diodes are stacked and connected to a main circuit in parallel, high power tolerance and symmetrical amplitude limiting capacity are achieved, and two low-frequency transmission zero points are formed by fusing a micro-strip grounding
branch knot and an MIM
capacitor resonator; in the second stage, two anti-parallel PIN diodes are matched with a grounding
inductor to form a third transmission zero point, three groups of resonant structures are integrated, six transmission zero points are introduced, the filtering performance in a 12-18GHz
frequency band is remarkably enhanced, a
PIN diode parasitic capacitor and a
microstrip inductive structure are skillfully utilized by the circuit to cooperatively realize filtering, extra passive elements are not needed, and the cost is low. The method is suitable for integrated protection of sensitive devices in a high-frequency
radar and communication
system.
