A surge protector is an appliance designed to protect electrical devices from power surges and voltage spikes. Surge protectors attempt to regulate the voltage supplied to an electric device by either blocking or shorting to ground voltage above a safe threshold. Lightning can generate high power surges to electronic equipment and extensively damage communication networks. Therefore lightning protectors are needed to protect sensitive equipment from these harmful impulses. Protecting devices should be physically located close to the equipment to be protected. Common locations in wireless infrastructures are at the top of the mast where the transmission line exits the antenna and at the entrance or inside the cabinet where the transmission line enters the Base Station electronics. Applications that utilize tower mount electronics require additional lightning protectors.

LAMBDA offers different solutions to prevent communication systems from direct and indirect Lightning Electro Magnetic Pulses (LEMP). LAMBDA lightning protectors are coaxial devices using N or 7/16 interfaces. They can operate today’s and future’s wireless communication bands (2G, 3G...). Maximum VSWR is less than 1.24 in the working frequency band. They are silver plated.

LAMBDA lightning protectors can be used either for indoor applications or for outdoor applications. They are reversible and can be used in both directions. They have been successfully tested under vibrations, salt spray and thermal shocks. They are all labeled with their part number and their operating frequency band. Regarding environmental matters, packaging is a foam-free unit cardboard box in which the device is captured and protected by a neutral plastic film.

LAMBDA has already designed the next generation of quarter wave protectors: Multiband protectors. The same protector can work within several frequency bands. Our standard multiband protectors can provide the same excellent protection, whether to CDMA, GSM, PCS, DCS or UMTS communication networks.

Main features: Quarter wave protectors do not require any maintenance, they achieve high passive inter modulation performance (-110dBm/-153dBc) and they only pass the lowest residual voltage. But, disadvantages are that they can not pass DC signals and must incorporate a fairly long stub element.
