Abstract

A microwave power generator comprises a driver stage having a driver transistor and an output stage coupled to the driver stage and having a power amplifier. A driver limiter is coupled to a DC voltage supply and includes a resistor coupled between the DC voltage supply and the driver transistor. The resistor has a resistance value effective to reduce a DC voltage supplied by the DC voltage supply to a control voltage that is applied to the driver transistor to set an output power of the driver transistor at a level effective to drive the power amplifier of the output stage to its maximum output power without exceeding a maximum input power rating of the power amplifier.
