Abstract
The present invention relates to an electromagnetic signal power limiter and its design method. The power limiter for an electromagnetic signal includes at least one transmission line for the signal. The transmission line is made up of a number of passive micro-diodes with ballistic electron transport. The micro-diodes are distributed on the transmission line, and are implemented in a controlled atmosphere. The invention applies notably to radiofrequency or hyperfrequency waves received by detection and communication devices.
