Abstract: A spark gap is configured to provide an enhanced spark over voltage. The spark gap includes a non-smooth textured substrate surface, a first conducting electrode, a second conducting electrode, a gap configured to be disposed between the first and second conducting electrodes, and a conductive material configured to be disposed in a non-continuous and irregular manner on the non-smooth textured substrate surface and in the gap between the first and second conducting electrodes, wherein the spark gap is structurally configured to provide an enhanced spark over voltage to protect any device connected to the spark gap.

Abstract: A multi-level signal distribution device provides different enhanced isolation levels at a plurality of different frequency bands and may include an input port, a plurality of output ports, a splitter configured to be connected between the input port and the output ports and a filter. The filter is configured to provide the plurality of enhanced isolation levels between the input port and the output ports. The device is also configured to provide enhanced isolation levels between adjacent output ports and between distant output ports.

Abstract: A passive entry adapter system includes an external band rejection filter connected to an external network; an entry adapter connected to the external band rejection filter, an input port connecting the entry adapter to the external network; a directional coupler connected to the input port; a frequency-based signal separation device connected to a first terminal and comprising a high-pass terminal, and a low-pass terminal; a splitter connected to the high-pass terminal, where the splitter is configured to be connected to one or more first types of devices; and a broadband output port connected to a second terminal of the directional coupler. The broadband output is configured to be connected to one or more second types of devices. The entry adapter and the external band rejection filter are configured to prevent signals from a frequency band associated with in-network communications produced within an internal network from reaching the external network.

Abstract: A spark gap circuit includes a circuit board. The spark gap circuit also includes an input configured to connect to the circuit board and to receive signals. The spark gap circuit also includes a spark gap configured to connect to the circuit board and the input. The spark gap circuit also includes an output configured to connect to the spark gap. The spark gap is configured to cause a return loss between the input and the output to be within a first predetermined range. The spark gap is configured to cause a parasitic capacitance between the input and the output to be within a second predetermined range.
