The Anti-Parallel Series Pair Limiter Topology
For more than 6 decades PIN diode limiters have served to enhance the robustness of RF receivers. The anti-parallel configuration is a very popular choice because its insertion loss, recovery time, power handling, flat leakage and frequency response characteristics can be traded off readily by choice of PIN diode. Even increasing the number of PIN diodes utilized in a limiter circuit can affect performance whether they are added in series or in subsequent stages altogether.
