- 24 - Abstract of the Disclosure QUASI-PASSIVE, NON-RADIOACTIVE RECEIVER PROTECTOR DEVICE A receiver protector device includes a sealed discharge chamber containing one or more pairs of spaced-apart, conical electrodes and an ionizable gas. A field emission array is mounted in the discharge chamber to provide a source of free electrons which assist in initiating a discharge when an RF input signal exceeds a desired threshold power level. The field emission array includes a substrate, a plurality of generally conical emitters distributed on the substrate, a conductive gate layer for extracting electrons from the emitters and a dielectric layer between the gate layer and the substrate. When a bias voltage is applied to the gate layer, electron are extracted from the emitters. The field emission array can be mounted adjacent to the electrodes or in a recess in one of the electrodes. The bias voltage can be supplied by a battery mounted on the receiver protector device external to the discharge chamber.
