Title: Thyratron limiter radar anti-jamming circuit

Abstract: 1. A limiter circuit for limiting the voltage amplitude of a circuit comping: A circuit to be limited with respect to a fixed potential thereof; An electron emission device having a control electrode and two conductiton electrodes, one of said conduction electrodes being coupled to said circuit to be limited and the other of said conduction electrodes being coupled to said fixed potential; A Zener diode having its anode connected to said other conduction electrode of said electron emission device and its cathode coupled to said fixed potential; and A voltage biasing source from said fixed potential connected to said control electrode of said electron emission device to establish a voltage amplitude limit for said circuit to be limited.
