ferrite limiter
[′fe‚rīt ′lim·əd·ər] (electromagnetism)
A passive, low-power microwave limiter having an insertion loss of less than 1 decibel when operating in its linear range, with minimum phase distortion; the input signal is coupled to a single-crystal sample of either yttrium iron garnet or lithium ferrite, which is biased to resonance by a magnetic field. Also known as ferrite attenuator.
