Abstract:
A lightning protection device for an antenna receiver includes a shield for a coaxial cable connected to the antenna, and a high-pass filter mounted in series relative to the shield and capable of limiting the low-frequency power flowing in the coaxial cable, including a capacitor and an inductor lower than 1 ohm at the lowest frequency used by the receiver, the capacitor including at least one layer of a conductive material embedded in a printed circuit. The capacitor may be made of a printed circuit including at least two floor plans, each of which is connected to the ground of a connector of the coaxial cable. The printed circuit may include at least one layer of a highly pervious material sandwiched between two layers of a conductive material.
