Abstract
In this paper, the method of design of the waveguide band-pass filter and limiter in radar system is proposed. First, we design a self-resonant iris, which can behave as a band-pass filter by mounting the PIN diode on the iris. When low power microwave is incident on the proposed element, the element behaves as a band-pass filter. Under a high power microwave condition, however, the element behaves as a limiter having wide band stop characteristics. The fabricated element has a pass band with -0.7 dB insertion loss at 10 GHz under the low power condition and isolation about 25 dB under the high power condition.
