Wireless Installation - Building Rooftop

This week’s featured article is a Technical Article previously published in Interference Technology magazine.  This in-depth article contains details and information about providing Lightning and Surge protection for coaxial and RF applications operating in the 4 to 6GHz range.

The widely used Public Safety (4.9GHz), UNII (5.6GHz), and ISM (5.8GHz) band applications all operate within this frequency window, so there are a multitude of applications and users around the world.

High-Frequency applications within this range can be treated different in terms of the Protection Design and Technology used on this type of system.  For example, the relatively high frequency range means that Quarter Wavelength Stub arrestors are ideal protectors for any application where DC Pass is not required!
