The gas tube assembly also includes a second electrode which is coupleable with the outer conductor of the coaxial transmission line. Each of the first and second electrodes of the gas tube assembly has a discharge area, and the discharge areas are spaced apart from each other. A body portion is attached to the discharge areas defining a sealed chamber therebetween.
