Abstract
A device for linearizing an RF or microwave signal output to an amplification stage including a traveling wave tube or a solid-state amplifier. A separator including a circulator and of a Schottky diode arrangement matched to the low-amplitude signals creates, for cheaper cost of components, of assemblage and of tuning, a compression path and an expansion path with excellent isolation performance and stability performance. Such a device may find particular application to telecommunications or to radar.
