Abstract

See full text

A protection device for electrically insulating an antenna from a signal receiving device while transferring RF signals, and a system including the same are disclosed. In an embodiment, the protection device includes a first waveguide in signal communication and electrical communication with the antenna; and a second waveguide in signal communication and electrical communication with the signal receiving device. The first waveguide and the second waveguide are arranged in an end to end coaxial relationship facing one another, and the first waveguide and the second waveguide are electrically insulated from one another, such that a high voltage from accidental contact of the antenna with a power line cannot pass from the antenna to the signal receiving device. RF signals pass from the antenna to the signal receiving device through the protection device with minimal signal loss.
