RF THERMAL FUSE

摘要

Certain aspects are directed to an RF thermal fuse comprising: a body adapted to be positioned on a transmission line between an RF signal source and an RF device; a conductive bolt positioned in the body, the conductive bolt adapted for reflecting a portion of a signal power of an RF signal from the RF signal source when the conductive bolt is in contact with a live conductor of the transmission line; and a driving mechanism configured to cause the conductive bolt to contact the live conductor in response to a temperature at a measurement point collocated with the transmission line exceeding a threshold temperature.
