Abstract:Low-level garnet limiters operating in the coincidence region have previously been reported a t 4.2'K [l]. These devices, however, operate only within an octave frequency range which is a function of the saturation magnetization. (For a YIG sphere a t 4.2'K, for example, this frequency range is 2.3 to 4.6 Gc/s.) This correspondence describes a limiter, ha\-ing no such fundamental limitation, which utilizes the sharp change in conductivity due t o impact ionization in n-type germanium a t 4.2'K.. I high power T… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
