Abstract
An antenna protection device includes a pair of opposed contacts, an inner electrode connected to one of the contacts. The outer electrode is separated from the inner electrode by a dielectric layer and connected to the other of the contacts. A bleed-off resistor is connected between the opposed contacts to dissipate any accumulated. Corona rings may be employed around the foregoing components to improve operation of the device.
