Zusammenfassung:A surge protection device is disclosed that includes an input path for receiving an rf signal, dc power, and a surge, an output path for propagating the rf signal, and a dc blocking device coupled in series between the input path and the output path. The surge protection device also includes a first inductor coupled to the input path for isolating the rf signal and providing a path for the dc power, a gas tube coupled to the first inductor for routing a portion of the surge to a ground plane, a second inductor coupled to the first inductor for providing a path for the dc power, and a metal oxide varistor coupled to the second inductor for routing a portion of the surge to the ground plane. Furthermore, the surge protection device includes a third inductor coupled to the second inductor for providing a path for the dc power, a diode coupled to the third inductor for routing a portion of the surge to the ground plane, and a fourth inductor coupled to the third inductor for providing a path for the dc power to the output path.
