Abstract

A broadband coaxial overvoltage protector includes a short-circuit line segment connected in parallel with a coaxial line section, a transforming coaxial line section with a length <.lambda./4, with one end of the transforming coaxial line section connected in series to the coaxial line section, and an open-circuit line segment connected in series to the other end of the transforming line section. The length of the transforming line section is selected in such a way that the curve representing the frequency dependence of the reflection coefficient for two different operating frequencies, which may be widely spaced, has a respective minimum at each of the two frequencies.
