    摘要: A limiter circuit includes a rectification circuit coupled to an input of the limiter circuit. The rectification circuit produces a voltage having a predetermined average level. The level is a function of an input signal fed to the input of the limiter circuit. A voltage divider circuit is coupled to the rectification circuit for producing an output voltage having a level proportional to the input signal. An enhancement mode field effect transistor has a gate electrode fed by the output voltage produced by the voltage divider circuit. The transistor has drain and source electrodes coupled to an output of the limiter circuit and a reference potential, respectively. A transmission line is coupled between the input of the limiter and the output of the limiter circuit. The transmission line has an electrical length n&lgr;/4, where &lgr; is the nominal operating wavelength of the limiter circuit and n is an odd integer. The use of an enhancement mode transistor with a positive gate threshold for conduction, greatly simplifies the limiter circuit compared with conventional designs using depletion mode transistors.

    摘要: A power delivery system (500) including a power splitter (502), a plurality of power amplifier modules (508) responsive to the power splitter (502), a power combiner (504), and a gateway controller (506) is provided. Each of the plurality of power amplifier modules (508) include an input switch (520), a variable attenuator (524), an RF power amplifier (526) responsive to the variable attenuator (524) and the input switch (520), an output switch (530) responsive to the RF power amplifier (526), and an alarm detector (532) for indicating an alarm condition of the RF power amplifier (526). The power combiner (504) is responsive to the plurality of power amplifier modules (508), and the gateway controller (506) is in communication with each of the plurality of power amplifier modules (508). The plurality of power amplifier modules controlled in accordance to whether a sleep criteria has been met. When a said sleep criteria has been met at least one of the plurality of power amplifier modules is placed into sleep mode, and is then returned to active mode if the sleep criteria is exited.
