  • Patent number: 11616484
    Abstract: A band antenna EMP filter apparatus having HEMP protection capability is disclosed. The apparatus includes a discharging part, a band pass filtering part, and a residual current eliminating part. The discharging part primarily discharges a transient voltage due to a high altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) when the HEMP is inputted through an input part receiving a radio frequency (RF) signal of an antenna. The band pass filtering part secondarily blocks a residual current primarily discharged by the discharging part and passes only a signal of a preset frequency band to output it through an output part. The residual current eliminating part limits a transient voltage of the HEMP by eliminating a residual current passing through the band pass filtering part.
