Arrestor Plus® T-Series Surge Arrestors from Andrew Corporation

employ quarterwave stub (QWS) technology, a unique design that
allows microwave signals to pass unattenuated while shunting the lower
frequencies associated with lightning-induced transients to ground. This
proven QWS technology is utilized in the APT, APTL, and APM series
Arrestor Plus® Surge Arrestors.
To understand QWS technology, one needs to understand lightning.

The lightning transient is characterized by a current waveform with
an 8-microsecond rise time (time to reach 90% of the peak value) and
a 20-microsecond decay time (time to decay to 50% of the peak value).
Peak currents can reach excessive values, but 50% of all strikes will reach
values of only 18 kA. It is important to remember that this is only
a laboratory characterization of the lightning transient, but it facilitates
standardized testing techniques for the industry. Figure 1 depicts an actual
laboratory-generated 8/20 µsec waveform that was used to evaluate
Andrew Surge Arrestors. For more detailed information regarding
laboratory generated surge waveforms, see IEC 60-2, ANSI-IEEE
Std 4-1978, and ANSI C62.1-1984.
The ability to withstand multiple strikes is also an important measure

of surge arrestor merit. Multistrike ability is measured by subjecting the
QWS surge arrestors to repeated surges and observing if the arrestors
continue to properly function or show signs of degradation. No evidence
of failure or degradation was observed after subjecting the Andrew
Arrestor Plus® Surge Arrestors to over 100 strikes at 50 kA peak current
using an 8/20 µsec waveform. This level of reliability is essential
in protecting today’s telecommunications systems from the potential
of damaging lightning transients.
Arrestor Plus QWS Surge Arrestors are carefully designed and tested
to provide a low impedance path to ground for any lightning induced
transient energy present on the center conductor of the transmission line.
These surge arrestors are designed to withstand multiple strikes of the
most severe surges. The unique attributes of QWS surge arrestors are
made possible by careful design and selection of the geometry and
cross-sectional area of the conductors that make up the shorting stub.
QWS designs result in extremely low throughput energy devices with
true multistrike ability.
The substantial energy associated with lightning transients has frequency When selecting a surge arrestor, the RF performance must be considered.

see Andrew Catalog 38.
Intermodulation distortion (IMD) is a major concern in today's PCS,

cellular, ESMR, and other wireless systems. IMD is caused by nonlinear
effects within a device. For connectors, these nonlinear effects can be
caused by poor contact between internal surfaces, plating with ferrous
materials, such as nickel, or by oxide build up between contact surfaces.
It is key to note that dc signals cannot be passed through the device. When
dc passing is required, as is often the case for tower top active electronics,
then it is strongly recommended to use Andrew APG Gas Tube Series
Surge Arrestors. For more information on APG Gas Tube Series Arrestors,
see Appendix 2.
The lowest center frequency of operation is limited to approximately

obvious as it may seem, surge arrestors should never be installed
or tested when a storm is occurring or approaching.
System requirements often dictate outdoor installation of surge arrestors.

to withstand the harshest environments and are extensively tested to meet

Andrew Arrestor Plus® Gas Tube Surge Arrestors allow field replacement
of gas tube elements. Gas tubes can be replaced by simply removing the
nut and replacing the element. A gas tube element may not always show
outward signs of failure or degradation, therefore, routine maintenance
and inspection is suggested. If the number of storms in an area is high,
gas tube elements should be replaced more frequently. Gas tube
degradation is dependent on the number as well as the intensity of the
lightning strikes. As obvious as it may seem, gas tube elements should
never be replaced when a storm is occurring or approaching.
When selecting a surge arrestor, the RF performance must be considered.

Characteristics that describe RF performance are operating bandwidth,
VSWR (return loss), insertion loss, and maximum average power.
Arrestor Plus Gas Tube Arrestors offer the widest bandwidth available of
any gas tube surge arrestors on the market. Unlike quarter wave stub
arrestors, Andrew APG Gas Tube Arrestors can be used for applications
under 400 MHz. A single unit can be used for broadband applications over
the full frequency range of 0 – 2000 MHz. Figure 5 shows the measured
wideband S11 return loss plot of a gas tube surge arrestor. Note that in
the commonly used 800 – 960 MHz and 1700 – 2000 MHz bands, the S11
levels are typically better than –30 dB.
Unlike QWS arrestors, a gas tube arrestor can pass dc current along the
center conductor, as is often required for today’s wireless communication
systems incorporating tower top active electronics.
VSWR and insertion loss measurement of APG Gas Tube Surge Arrestors
can be made by using vector or scalar network analyzers as well as
a variety of other readily available types of field test equipment. The
arrestors are dc passing broadband devices and can therefore be
used with time domain reflect meters or fault location equipment.
System requirements often dictate that surge arrestors will be installed

outdoors. The Arrestor Plus APG Series Surge Arrestors from Andrew
are ideal for these applications and are designed to withstand the
harshest environment. They are extensively tested to meet industry
standard specifications for waterproofing, vibration, thermal cycling,
mechanical shock, salt spray, fungus, and moisture resistance.
Andrew Arrestor Plus gas tube surge arrestors are an excellent choice
for broadband frequency applications or when a dc bias is required
for providing power to tower top devices. Please visit our website at
www.andrew.com for product data sheets and electronic copies of
this appendix.
Over the operating frequencies of the Arrestor Plus, the insertion loss is
less than 0.1 dB, no more than adding a connector to the transmission
line path. Figure 6 shows the measured S21 (insertion loss) performance
for a typical APG family arrestor. Note that in the commonly used
800-960 MHz and 1700-2000 MHz bands, the S21 levels are typically
–0.05 dB and –0.12 dB, respectively.

DC Passing Wideband Arrestors The function of the various elements in the dc passing wideband surge
arrestor described above are best understood if modeled as a simple
®
Andrew Arrestor Plus , DC Passing, Wideband Surge Arrestors (US Patent electronic circuit as shown in figure 2, below.
Pending) are true broadband RF devices that are capable of allowing a
dc bias to pass along the center while shorting the lower frequencies
associated with lightning induced transients to the outer conductor and
to earth ground.
Arrestor Plus®, DC Passing, Wideband Surge Arrestors are the same

general shape and size as a typical quarterwave surge arrestors. The
arrestor is comprised of two coaxial connector interfaces joined by a
center conductor passing through a coaxial arrestor body. A helically milled
shorting stub connects to the center conductor on an axis perpendicular to
the center conductor through a port in the arrestor body. The RF shorting
stub screws into the end of the helical shorting stub. A gas discharge tube
sits directly on top of the RF shorting stub, under constant pressure applied
by the gas tube spring clip. The helical shorting stub, RF shorting stub, gas
tube and gas tube spring clip are sealed inside of the shorting stub sleeve
and arrestor body by compressing an o-ring between the screw-in gas cap
and the shorting stub sleeve. (See figure 1 below).
Figure 2
Electronic Circuit Diagram of DC Passing Wideband Surge Arrestor
The two coaxial connector interfaces, ports P1 and P2, provide coupling
to coaxial cables that run between the output of the radio equipment and
the surge arrestor and the surge arrestor and the antenna. This cable
is indicated as having a nominal impedance (Zo) of 50 . The center
conductor sections that are between the coaxial connector interfaces
and the shorting stub are modeled as transmission lines TL1 and TL2.
The helical shorting stub is modeled as an inductor (L1) that connects
to the center conductor between TL1 and TL2. The outer surface of the
RF Shorting Stub is coated with a dielectric material to create a series
capacitance (C1) between the end of the helical shorting stub and the
shorting stub sleeve, which is a ground (G1). A gas discharge tube
with capacitance (C2) sits in parallel with capacitor C1 and ground (G2).
The inductance, L1, of the helical shorting stub and the effective capacitance
of parallel capacitors C1 & C2 tune the surge arrestor giving it a broadband
frequency response.
Under normal operating conditions, the RF signal will pass straight from
Figure 1 P1 to P2 since the inductor, L1, appears as an open circuit. When a dc

grounds, G1 or G2, by capacitors, C1 & C2, because these capacitors
appear as open circuits to low current dc bias voltages typically applied
to power tower mounted amplifiers or active antennas. The gas in the gas
discharge tube will ionize under lightning strikes or other high voltage
conditions allowing the transient to go from the center conductor to the
outer conductor or ground (G2). For purposes of effective grounding,
the surge arrestor can either be mounted to ground through a bulkhead
interface or by mounting the surge arrestor to a copper grounding bus
bar via threaded mounting hardware that is provided with the surge
arrestor or ordered separately.

Definitions and Assumptions 1. Per EIA-222 Standard: Coefficient of drag for coaxial cable is 1.2 (cylindrical members). Ice forms completely around member (360 degrees).
Combined wind and ice loading is reduced by 25% to reflect lower probability of wind and ice occurring simultaneously. 2. Wind speeds are maximum, which includes gust factors
and exposure factors.

* These hanger spacings have been specified based on using the Click-On Hangers with Andrew specified hardware kits.
Definitions and Assumptions 1. Per EIA-222 Standard: Coefficient of drag for coaxial cable is 1.2 (cylindrical members). Ice forms completely around member
(360 degrees). Combined wind and ice loading is reduced by 25% to reflect lower probability of wind and ice occurring simultaneously. 2. Wind speeds are maximum,
which includes gust factors and exposure factors.
