Research on Peak Leakage Characteristics of PIN Diodes Limiters under High Power Microwave

This paper adopts ADS to model and simulate a standard PIN limiter circuit, studying the effects of I layer thickness and different PRI pulse trains on the limiter's peak leakage characteristics, as well as the conditions for PIN limiters to produce peak leakage. When injecting a Ku-band pulse train with a pulse width of 100 ns and a PRI of 1 ms, the experiment verifies the peak leakage characteristics of the PIN limiter, which provides a way to improve the electromagnetic protection design of the PIN limiter.
