Definitions

  • the invention relates to a limiter circuit according to the features of patent claim 1.
  • the protection circuit is constructed in strip line or coaxial technology on a carrier with discrete components.
  • the carrier in turn is mounted in a matching housing, which also contains the connections for the drive and the high-frequency signals.
  • the high-frequency output is connected to the input of the module to be protected via a high-frequency line.
  • a disadvantage of this arrangement is that the protection circuit is constructed discretely or, if integrated, is realized with diodes. Both approaches are costly and not suitable for applications where space is limited. When using diodes also has the problem that the limiter diodes used do not have sufficient properties to ensure a high load capacity of the limiter.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a limiter circuit which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art. This object is achieved with the limiter circuit according to the features of patent claim 1.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the invention is the subject of a subclaim.
  • the limiter circuit according to the invention having a signal input and a signal output for limiting an output signal applied to the signal output, a further circuit connected to the output of the Bregenzer circuit, a connection for supplying a bias voltage and a transistor is present, the gate terminal of the transistor being connected via a first matching circuit is connected to the terminal and via a second matching circuit to the signal input.
  • the matching circuits consist of e.g. from resistors and / or inductors and / or capacitors and / or line sections. This makes it possible to adjust the operating point of the transistor according to the requirements. Thus, e.g. the frequency response or the input matching of the transistor are adjusted accordingly.
  • FIGURE shows a schematic structure of a limiter circuit according to the invention.
  • the signal input E1 of the limiter circuit is connected via a capacitor C1 and a resistor R2 to the gate terminal of a transistor T.
  • the terminal E2 is connected via a resistor R3 and the resistor R2 to the gate terminal of the transistor T.
  • the capacitor C1 and the resistor R3 are connected to each other at the point K.
  • a voltage source (not shown) can be connected to the terminal E2 .
  • the combination of R3 and R2 symbolizes the first matching circuit A1, the combination of R2 and C1 the second matching circuit A2.
  • the source terminal S of the transistor T is grounded M and the drain terminal D is connected to the output A of the limiter circuit.
  • At the output A of the limiter circuit A is another, to be protected circuit SCH, conveniently connected via a third matching circuit A3.
  • the transistor T and the further circuit assemblies are implemented in semiconductor technology for power applications (e.g., gallium nitride). It is also possible that the limiter circuit is integrated in the circuit SCH to be protected.
  • the gate voltage at transistor T does not change. This means that the transistor T remains locked. With large signals (more than 10 mW), the rectification effect in the transistor T produces a countervoltage which makes it conductive and thus diverts a portion of the input signal at the input E1 to ground M and thus causes a limitation (protective effect).
  • the resistor R2 serves as protection against too high a gate current at the transistor T and thus prevents it from being destroyed itself.
  • the operating point of the transistor is adjusted so that no limitation takes place during normal operation of the limiter circuit. In addition, it can also be used to set the threshold for the limitation.
