Abstract

Resident mobile communication system technology has been developed. But, surged high voltages in antenna generally have damaged mobile communication. To solve this problem, we use arrester in Rx-Tx line system. That is, the arrester is to protect devices in system against considerable over-voltages or lighting strike. Currently, system protection using of arrester has been arrived in content level but these days, the fact of PIMD(Passive Intermodulation Distortion) which is RF passive components' nonlinear characteristic has appeared. This paper describes PIMD' causes occurred in arrester-estimated from Gas tube capsule, plating, temperature, humidity by experiment.
