Abstract
A protector which is coupleable with a coaxial transmission line. The protector includes a gas tube assembly. The gas tube assembly has a first electrode which is coupleable with the inner conductor of the coaxial transmission line such that the first electrode becomes substantially aligned with the transmission line. The gas tube assembly also includes a second electrode which is coupleable with the outer conductor of the coaxial transmission line. Each of the first and second electrodes of the gas tube assembly has a discharge area, and the discharge areas are spaced apart from each other. A body portion is attached to the discharge areas defining a sealed chamber therebetween.
